DRUG OFFENSES

We handle drug cases ranging from the relatively simple possession (marijuana/cocaine/heroin/oxycodone/percocet) to the complex drug scheme (multi-defendant drug manufacturing and/or distribution cases). Whether resolving the simple possession matters via summary offenses (typically involving a fine and no supervision), or by way of Diversionary/Treatment Courts, we resolve those cases in a manner so as to avoid the client sustaining the misdemeanor conviction and collateral consequences.

The complex cases often involve pouring through volumes of “Discovery,” including police officers’ reports, surveillance of the client, and the use of confidential informants. These cases are sometimes fertile ground for “Suppression Hearings,” and litigating these suppression issues. Cross-examination of police witnesses, often qualified as experts by the Courts, and cross-examination of cooperating witnesses and informants are also typically involved.
