Aggressive Drug Defense When You Need it Most

Citizens who are facing drug charges have many rights and options available. These options range from cooperation to demanding a full jury trial. A drug conviction can have far ranging consequences, including losing federally assisted financial aid for college. Finding an attorney who can inform you of your rights and discuss possible legal options is the single most important step in your defense. Desfosses Law Firm has helped many people whose futures were threatened by the possibility of a drug conviction. We understand the effect drug charges have on your life, and we will aggressively pursue a favorable outcome for you. We will fight for you, your rights, and your future.

Many law enforcement agencies have regularly been violating individual rights under the Fourth Amendment when it comes to searching automobiles on our highways. A simple speeding stop can end up in a nightmare with police officers coercing “consent” searches from terrified young people. A favorite tactic is to threaten to seize your car until the “drug sniffing dog” arrives. Many of these searches violate the constitution. If so, the evidence can be suppressed or excluded by filing a skillful Motion to Suppress.

COOPERATION

The choice to cooperate with the police is one of the most important decisions you will ever face. Sometimes its right, sometimes it is not. Law enforcement will try to put you under extreme pressure. Often they make crazy threats or promises they will never keep. Under Federal law police officers are allowed to lie to you if you don’t have a lawyer! Phil Desfosses has the experience and reputation you help you with this decision. Don’t go it alone!

Thoroughly Analyzing the Evidence

Our experienced attorneys can thoroughly analyze the evidence against you to advance your defense. We are highly skilled in evaluating issues such as search and seizure, traffic stops, and voluntary consent. We are experienced in uncovering inconsistencies in evidence, witness statements, and law enforcement reports. We never forget that the prosecution has the burden of proving every single element of a drug crime—and we never let the prosecutor forget it either.

Most cases are resolved by plea bargains, if you have the right lawyer. There are many sentencing options available, ranging from Drug court which keeps your record clean to Probation and Rehabilitation. You won’t be treated fairly unless you hire a great lawyer to fight for you. Phil Desfosses is that lawyer!
