Ways To Challenge The Prosecution In Drug Crime Cases

Every case is different, but no case is without hope. When you work with us, we will explore various defense strategies to protect your rights. Some of the ways that we frequently challenge drug charges include the following:

Illegal search and seizure: We will scrutinize the circumstances of your arrest (and traffic stop, if applicable) to identify any violations of your Fourth Amendment rights.
Entrapment defense: If law enforcement induced you to commit a crime you otherwise wouldn’t have committed, then we might use this defense.
Chain of custody issues: We can identify whether evidence was handled properly from the time of seizure to the courtroom.
Constitutional rights: We will verify that your rights, such as Miranda rights, were upheld and will challenge any violations that might impact the outcome of your case.
Insufficient evidence: The prosecution has a high burden of proof, and we will work hard to cast doubt on their assertions, including by challenging the sufficiency of their evidence.

Beyond these traditional defenses, we can also help you explore alternative sentencing options, such as diversion programs (drug courts). Michigan offers first-time offender programs, such as the 7411 deferral program and the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, that may provide opportunities for reduced sentences or the conditional dismissal of charges for eligible individuals.

Drug Crime FAQ

As drug crime defense attorneys, we hear common questions about drug offenses, and our answers are below. Please reach out to us for answers to your specific questions.

What are Michigan’s penalties for drug possession?

Penalties can vary based on the type and amount of substance involved. Generally, possession of controlled substances may lead to fines, imprisonment, community service or probation requirements. The Michigan sentencing guidelines provide a framework for judges to determine penalties, which can be influenced by factors such as prior offenses and the nature of the offense.

Could an illegal search lead to the dismissal of drug charges?

Yes, potentially. Under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, individuals are protected against unreasonable searches and seizures. If law enforcement conducted a search without adequate legal grounds, we can challenge the legality of the search. Successful Fourth Amendment violations and probable cause challenges can result in evidence being suppressed, which may lead to a dismissal of charges.

What’s the difference between drug possession and possession with the intent to distribute?

Drug possession typically refers to having a controlled substance for personal use, while possession with intent to distribute involves having drugs with the plan to sell or distribute them. The latter carries more severe penalties, and it often involves larger quantities of drugs.
