Possession of Illegal Drugs:
where in Indiana on serious state or federal drug charges, contact the Tony Zirkle Law Offices at any of our locations for a free consultation about your legal problems. Our experience with the defense of drug possession and distribution charges can make a significant difference to the outcome of any case against you.
We represent clients charged with the possession, sale, or manufacture of such illegal drugs as marijuana, cocaine, heroine, methamphetamines, hallucinogens and others. A criminal drug possession penalty is often determined by the type of drug that an offender possessed. If you have been charged with illegal drug possession, the smartest decision is to contact an experienced Indiana criminal defense lawyer.
Possession of drugs that have a higher potential for abuse, or those which have the potential to cause injury or death, often results in a harsher drug possession penalty. A drug possession penalty is also determined by the amount of the drug in possession. If a certain amount of an illegal drug is found on your person, you may be charged with the intent to distribute the drug. This often results in much harsher drug possession penalties. Also, in the case of distributing to minors, drug possession penalty rulings are much harsher and can even double. For more information about state or federal drug charges contact The Law Offices of Tony Zirkle.
Our Indiana criminal defense attorneys also represent persons charged with the unauthorized possession or distribution of prescription medications such as Xanax, Oxycontin, or Vicodin. If money laundering charges are also included in the case against you, our experience with the defense of financial crimes will give you an advantage in plea negotiations or at trial.
A drug possession penalty can include fines, jail or prison time, probation, mandatory treatment programs, and the loss of other rights. A federal drug conviction may result in the loss of federal benefits, including school loans, grants, scholarships, contracts, and licenses.
Recently, legislature and social groups have pushed for treatment drug possession penalty options rather than mandatory incarceration drug possession penalty options for offenders of non-violent drug crimes. Our experienced Indiana criminal defense lawyers can help you in understanding these programs and may be able to help with this process.
The earlier we can get involved in your defense, the better the result is likely to be. Our detailed knowledge of state and federal drug laws, together with our understanding of constitutional defenses and pretrial defense strategies, can aim for the dismissal of the charges against you based on improper execution of a search warrant, lack of probable cause to make the arrest, or weaknesses in the information supporting the issuance of the search warrant. In our experience, even the credible threat of a solid motion to suppress the evidence can sometimes result in highly favorable compromises with the prosecution.
