Defending Against Drug Crimes
We know that what matters in any criminal case is evidence, and because we’ve built these cases as prosecutors, we know how to attack the evidence that the prosecution will bring. We start at the beginning and we work forward from there. For instance:
- How were drugs discovered? Were you searched during a traffic stop? Was the stop legal? Was the search legal? Were there other people present, and who witnessed these events?
- What testing methods were employed? Is all equipment properly calibrated and maintained? Are personnel at testing facilities properly certified and trained?
- Did police follow correct procedures during the arrest and interrogation, including reading you your Miranda warnings?
And that’s just the start. Our Lawyers will examine the evidence, interview witnesses, and build the case you need to fight back.
Defending Against Drug Crimes
At Friedman & Ranzenhofer, we know that drug cases, especially when young people are involved, often call for more than a strong legal defense. We have families too, and when a family member is struggling, we want to help. If you or your loved one can benefit from substance abuse treatment or other forms of counseling, we can help you find programs that meet your needs. In many cases, participation in voluntary treatment can also help the court view your case more favorably.
For many of our clients, fighting these charges in court is simply the right thing to do. For others, working with the court to develop alternative approaches that help our client remain in the community, on the job, and with their family is the best option. We are your defense consultants, and we work to achieve the outcome that fits your needs, whether that means a courtroom fight or a negotiated resolution. You can trust our Buffalo drug crime lawyers to put your needs first.
