Phoenix Drug Crime Lawyer

Drug offenses are some of the most intricate cases to defend. Not everything is what it appears to be at first blush. For instance, a simple possession case where drugs are found on an individual’s person could be the result of an illegal search and seizure. Or on the other hand, an individual who is caught with a large quantity of drugs for sale should always ask the following questions: how did the government know what I had; how did they know where I would be; and to whom did they know I was selling to? Most often, large quantity drug sales are the result of cooperation of confidential informant, a wiretap, or questionable law enforcement tactics.

Drug crimes include simple possession of controlled substances (marijuana, spice, methamphetamine, bath salts, precursor chemicals, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, and prescription drugs); possession of drug paraphernalia; trafficking and sales; manufacturing; cultivation of marijuana; wiretaps (electronic use of a wire to discuss or arrange drug deals); conspiracy to commit sales; and money laundering
