Possession with Intent
If you were accused of possession with intent, it is important that you are aware of all the facts surrounding your case. If you were found to be in possession of more drugs than would be used for an individual's use, prosecution will attempt to convince the court that you were intending to sell or distribute the drugs. This is a much more serious charge to face than possession with intent and carries harsher penalties. PWID (Possession with intent to distribute) is a felony crime and will most likely lead to time in jail or even prison. After your sentence has technically ended, you may still feel the repercussions of your conviction. It could be difficult to secure a job or be accepted into an educational institution. If you were accused of possession with intent or any other drug crime, contact a member of our firm. Read more on possession with intent.
Defense for Fairfax Drug Charge Allegations
How can a lawyer build a successful defense strategy in the face of Fairfax drug crime allegations? This will vary depending on the particular circumstances surrounding your charges, but there are different types of strategies that a lawyer may employ in order to best protect your interests and offer you the greatest opportunity at a positive case outcome.
One possible strategy may be to prove an unreasonable search and seizure, which involves law enforcement conducting a search and seizing evidence when they did not have a valid warrant or probable cause to do so. An illegal search and seizure may give your attorney grounds to file a motion to suppress evidence in your drug crime case. Other strategies can include challenging the validity of testimony or evidence as well as other aggressive legal tactics that can help improve the strength of your case while removing the challenges that the prosecution may present to push the case towards a conviction. When you employ hard-hitting legal maneuvering to a criminal defense case with the assistance and guidance of an experienced criminal defense attorney, you will be improving your chances of a successful case.
Never forget that when you are facing criminal charges, the prosecution will press aggressively to have your penalties maximized to the fullest extent of the law. This can mean serious criminal penalties such as extended jail or prison time, and massive fines if you are convicted. Without legal aid from an attorney who understand the complexities of criminal law, you could be leaving your future hanging very precariously in the balance.
