Defenses in Drug Cases
If drug evidence can be suppressed, then the charges are usually dismissed. Defenses in cases involving narcotics often involve motions to suppress evidence based on how that evidence was obtained:
- Illegal search and seizure. Police cannot stop you and search your body or your vehicle without a legal reason. If the evidence was obtained as a result of an illegal search and seizure, a lawyer can file a motion to suppress the drug evidence.
- Confidential informants. In almost 60 percent of narcotics cases involve confidential informants, generally people who have been busted themselves. A lawyer can file a motion to disclose who the informant is and challenge the credibility of that informant.
At the Law Office of RICHARD NICK KELLEY, we defend people charged with possession, possession with intent to sell, trafficking, and other crimes involving the following drugs:
- Marijuana
- Cocaine
- Methamphetamine (meth)
- Heroin
- Prescription drugs (Oxycontin, Oxycodone, Xanax, Fen Phen, and more)
