Drug Crimes

Criminal Defense against Drug Charges

Salt Lake City / Provo Drug Crimes Defense Lawyer

Drug crimes carry some of the harshest consequences of any crime. Even a conviction for a relatively minor drug crime, such as possession of marijuana, will create a criminal record that can stand in the way of college funding, an apartment, a job.

More serious crimes and you may find yourself facing charges in federal court. State and federal law enforcement may work together on cases that involve drug trafficking and conspiracy. Not only are these cases more difficult to defend, but with mandatory minimum federal sentences, you are facing more jail time.

This is not just a court case, this is your life—and it's our fight.

We Take All Drug Crimes Defense Seriously

Prosecutors use a number of tactics to when charging a drug crime, including:

• Claiming that the presence of money in your car, your home, or on your person somehow means you're connected to the drug trade
• Adding unwarranted additional charges, such as intent to sell or drug trafficking.
• We also see prosecutors tack conspiracy charges.
