When you or a loved one have been arrested for possessing, selling, manufacturing or transporting drugs or narcotics, it is essential that you have a skilled and experienced Kansas City drug offenses lawyer to protect your legal rights and freedom.
You may think that it is no big deal to be convicted on misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession. The truth is, even a relatively minor offense can prevent you from getting financial aid for college or finding employment. If convicted on drug/narcotics charges, you may spend a significant amount of time behind bars, face substantial fines and a permanent criminal record. You may also be required to attend a drug rehabilitation program. Our Kansas City narcotics lawyers are aggressive and skilled; we work diligently to have charges against our clients dismissed or reduced so that the negative impact is less severe.
How severe the punishment you face may be depends on a number of factors. If you have a criminal history or past conviction, it may affect the penalties that are handed out. The seriousness of the crime, how much of a drug you possessed and whether children were present in a home where drugs/narcotics were manufactured play a role in the punishment you face. Without a Kansas City drug offenses attorney to provide legal guidance, your career, reputation and future will likely be at risk.
It is important that when you are arrested for any drug/narcotics offense, you choose an attorney with experience and skill. Our Kansas City narcotics offenses lawyers have handled many cases involving drug crimes. We understand how prosecutors work to prove a client’s guilt, which helps us challenge their efforts. We will investigate the arrest to determine whether police performed an illegal search and seizure, and if so, make a motion to suppress evidence that was obtained illegally. If any weaknesses exist in the prosecutor’s case, we will find them.
There are many defenses that a talented Kansas City drug offenses attorney may use to protect the legal rights and freedom of his/her client. Drug and narcotics crimes are taken very seriously in Jackson County, and without a capable lawyer on your side, you will likely face harsh sentencing.
