Facing a Drug Arrest? Protect Your Rights
At The Schellert Law Firm, LLC, we represent clients facing drug charges involving marijuana ("pot," "weed") and more serious drugs, such as methamphetamines ("meth") or cocaine. Our practice focuses on helping people who have made a mistake or error in judgment. We provide aggressive drug crimes defense in cases involving:
- Drug possession (misdemeanor or felony)
- Possession of drug paraphernalia (misdemeanor)
- Minor in possession
Drug charges are based on the quantity of drugs involved. Therefore, if you have a substantial amount of the illegal drug in your pocket, your car, or otherwise in your possession, you face more serious charges for possession with intent to distribute, drug sale/distribution or drug trafficking.
When we defend clients facing drug crime charges, we analyze the entire situation. Was the traffic stop legal? Was there a valid search warrant to search the home? Were Miranda Rights violated? Was proper chemical testing performed on the drug? Were the drugs truly in the possession of our client? We use effective techniques to weaken the case against our clients. If evidence was obtained in violation of our clients' rights, it cannot be used in court. Thus, charges may be reduced or even dismissed. To learn more about drug charges, visit our information page.
