How Our Columbus Drug Crimes Lawyers Can Help
In our experience as Columbus drug crime lawyers, we have found that these cases can be complex and challenging. Additionally, you may be facing the full weight and resources of the government, so you need a strong lawyer on your side who can advocate for you. We can help build a strong defense to the charges against you by taking appropriate actions such as:
- Challenging the evidence against you – We may be able to argue that the drugs were not what they appeared to be, you had legal possession of them, or that a witness provided false testimony to challenge the evidence against you.
- Filing motions to dismiss charges or suppress evidence – If drugs were obtained through an illegal search or other police misconduct, we can argue that the evidence should be suppressed. Depending on the circumstances, this could result in a dismissal of the charges against you.
- Investigating possible defenses – We can investigate possible defenses to the charges against you, such as a witness providing false information against you because of a private vendetta, police entrapment, or lack of constructive possession of drugs.
- Exploring alternatives to jail time – In appropriate cases, we may be able to advocate for you to join a treatment program rather than face incarceration. We can also negotiate a plea agreement in exchange for reducing or dismissing charges against you.
