Drugs and Narcotics Crimes
Maryland ● Washington, D.C., Drug Crimes AttorneysState and federal law enforcement have undertaken a number of initiatives in their "war on drugs." As a result, sentences and fines for drug and narcotics related-crimes have increased. Additionally, criminal forfeitures are now initiated in most drug cases involving possession and suspected smuggling. Under state and federal law, the government can seize any assets or property it believes were acquired with proceeds from illegal drug activity. At Brennan Sullivan & McKenna, our criminal defense lawyers work with our own investigators to gather evidence that contradicts the prosecutor's version of events. Even if drugs were found in your possession, how they got there and how they were discovered by the police can make all the difference between guilt and innocence. Don't assume there are no options available to you — contact drug crimes attorneys at the law office of Brennan Sullivan & McKenna today and schedule a confidential consultation to discuss your case. Fighting Drug Crimes ChargesThe law office of Brennan Sullivan & McKenna counsels and defends clients charged with the following drug and narcotics-related crimes:
War on Drugs = War on RightsThe strength of the case against you will depend on the actions of police officers and the manner in which drugs were discovered in your possession. If your car was searched after being stopped, prosecutors must prove the stop and ensuing search were constitutional. Without a search warrant, police must have probable cause to enter a residence. If police or investigators knock on a suspect's door to "look for probable cause" after the door is opened, any evidence seized afterwards may be excluded at trial. Likewise, shady informants who have cut a deal with prosecutors to provide testimony in exchange for a reduced sentence cannot be trusted. Our attorneys investigate the background of informants to expose ulterior motives they may have for providing distorted or false testimony against our clients. Contact Drug Crimes Defense Attorneys TodayIt's important to begin the process of building your defense as soon as you are arrested or targeted for investigation. Depending on the situation, it may be possible to convince prosecutors to focus their investigation elsewhere or reduce the charges against you.
