Possession of Illegal Drugs:

Being charged with possession of illegal drugs can be a frightening and overwhelming experience. If convicted, you could face significant penalties, including incarceration, fines, and a criminal record. This is why it's so important to have a skilled criminal defense attorney on your side.

At Freedom First Criminal Defense, we have extensive experience representing clients charged with possession of illegal drugs. We know the law and will use our knowledge to develop a strong defense on your behalf. We will carefully review the evidence against you and challenge any illegal search and seizure tactics that may have been used by law enforcement.

We will also look for any other potential defenses that may be available in your case. For example, if you were not aware that the drugs were in your possession, or if you were under duress at the time of the alleged offense, we will use these factors to your advantage.

Possession of Controlled Substances

One of the most common drug offenses is possession of controlled substances. Under the law, controlled substances are drugs that are regulated by the government due to their potential for abuse and addiction. This includes drugs like marijuana, cocaine, and prescription medications like Oxycodone and Xanax.

If you are charged with possession of a controlled substance, the prosecutor must prove that you knew about the presence of the drug and that you had control over it. This means that if you were unaware that there were drugs in your car or in your home, for example, you may be able to argue that you did not possess the drugs.

Possession with Intent to Distribute:

If you've been charged with possession with intent to distribute, you may be facing serious penalties, including hefty fines and significant time in prison. This charge means that the prosecution believes you were in possession of an illegal drug with the intention of selling or distributing it to others.

In order to prove this charge, the prosecution must show that you had a certain amount of the drug in your possession, and that you intended to distribute it. This can be difficult to prove, and there may be several defenses available to you.

One potential defense is to challenge the prosecution's evidence that you intended to distribute the drug. This could include arguing that the amount of the drug in your possession was for personal use, rather than for distribution. Additionally, the prosecution may not have enough evidence to prove that you intended to distribute the drug.

Another defense strategy could be to challenge the legality of the search and seizure that led to the discovery of the drug. If the police violated your Fourth Amendment rights, we may be able to have the evidence excluded from your case.

Manufacturing or Cultivation of Illegal Drugs:

Manufacturing or cultivation of illegal drugs refers to the production, growth, or creation of controlled substances. This can include activities such as growing marijuana plants, cooking methamphetamine, or creating synthetic drugs like ecstasy.

In most cases, these activities are illegal and can result in serious criminal charges. The potential consequences of a conviction for manufacturing or cultivating illegal drugs can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case and the jurisdiction in which the crime was committed.

In general, however, a conviction for manufacturing or cultivating illegal drugs can carry significant fines and prison sentences. In some cases, individuals may face mandatory minimum sentences, which require a certain amount of time in prison regardless of the circumstances of the case.

If you have been charged with manufacturing or cultivating illegal drugs, it is important to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. At Freedom First Criminal Defense, we have extensive experience representing clients in these types of cases and can help you build a strong defense.

Drug Trafficking or Smuggling:

Drug trafficking, also known as drug smuggling, is the illegal import, export, or transportation of controlled substances. This can include transporting drugs across state or international borders, as well as moving drugs within a single state.

Drug trafficking is a serious offense that is punishable by heavy fines and lengthy prison sentences. The penalties you may face will depend on the type and amount of drugs involved in the case, as well as your criminal history and the location of the offense. For example, trafficking large amounts of drugs such as heroin or methamphetamine can result in a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison, and up to life imprisonment in some cases.

Distribution or Sale of Illegal Drugs

Drug distribution or sale is a serious crime that carries severe penalties in the United States. Depending on the type and amount of drugs involved, a conviction for drug distribution or sale can result in years or even decades in prison and significant fines.

If you have been charged with drug distribution or sale, it is essential to work with an experienced criminal defense attorney who can help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights. At Freedom First Criminal Defense, we have successfully defended clients against a wide range of drug distribution and sale charges, and we are ready to put our expertise to work for you.

Prescription Drug Fraud or Forging Prescriptions

Prescription drug fraud occurs when an individual obtains or attempts to obtain a controlled substance by misrepresentation, deception, or subterfuge. This can include forging a prescription, altering a legitimate prescription, or using someone else's prescription.

In most cases, prescription drug fraud is charged as a felony, which means that a conviction can result in substantial fines and imprisonment. The penalties for prescription drug fraud can vary depending on the type and amount of the controlled substance involved, as well as the defendant's criminal history.

If you have been accused of prescription drug fraud, it is important to seek the help of an experienced criminal defense attorney right away. At Freedom First Criminal Defense, our attorneys have extensive experience defending clients against these types of charges. We will carefully review the evidence against you, identify any potential defenses, and fight to protect your rights and freedom.

Driving Under the Influence of Drugs

Driving under the influence of drugs, also known as drugged driving, is a serious crime in most states. It's illegal to operate a vehicle while impaired by drugs, including prescription medications and illegal substances like marijuana and heroin. If you're caught driving under the influence of drugs, you could face severe penalties, including fines, jail time, and a suspended driver's license.

At Freedom First Criminal Defense, our attorneys have extensive experience defending clients against drugged driving charges. We understand the complex laws surrounding drugged driving and can help you build a strong defense against these charges. In some cases, we may be able to challenge the results of a drug test or argue that the drugs in your system didn't impair your ability to drive. We'll work tirelessly to help you avoid a conviction and protect your rights.

Possession of Drug Paraphernalia:

Possession of drug paraphernalia is a common charge that is often filed along with other drug-related offenses. Drug paraphernalia refers to any equipment or materials that are used to grow, manufacture, distribute, or consume illegal drugs. This can include items like pipes, bongs, syringes, scales, and other items that are commonly associated with drug use.

In many states, possession of drug paraphernalia is a separate offense from drug possession, and it can carry its own penalties. In some cases, possession of drug paraphernalia is a misdemeanor offense that is punishable by fines and a short jail sentence. In other cases, it may be a felony offense that carries more severe penalties, such as longer jail sentences and higher fines.

If you have been charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, it is important to consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Your attorney can help you understand the specific charges that you are facing, as well as the potential consequences and defenses that may be available to you. At Freedom First Criminal Defense, we have the knowledge and expertise to defend against drug paraphernalia charges and achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.

Participation in a Drug Conspiracy

If you have been charged with participating in a drug conspiracy, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney who can help you defend against these serious charges. A drug conspiracy is a criminal offense that involves two or more people who agree to commit a drug-related crime, such as manufacturing, distributing, or trafficking illegal drugs.

In order to be convicted of participating in a drug conspiracy, the prosecution must prove that you knew about the conspiracy and that you willingly participated in it. This means that even if you did not directly commit the crime, you can still be held accountable for your role in the conspiracy.

Operating a Drug Lab or Manufacturing Facility:

Operating a drug lab or manufacturing facility is a serious offense that can result in severe penalties under state and federal laws. This includes the production, distribution, or sale of illegal drugs such as methamphetamine, ecstasy, or LSD. If you have been charged with operating a drug lab or manufacturing facility, you need an experienced attorney who can defend your rights and fight for the best possible outcome in your case.

At Freedom First Criminal Defense, we have the knowledge and experience to navigate the complex legal process and build a strong defense on your behalf. We will thoroughly investigate the facts of your case and work to uncover any weaknesses in the prosecution's case. We will also challenge any illegal searches, seizures, or arrests that may have occurred, and seek to have any evidence obtained through these means suppressed.

In addition, we will explore all available defenses to the charges against you. This may include arguing that you were not aware of the illegal drug activity taking place at the facility, or that you were not involved in the operation of the drug lab or manufacturing facility. We will also work to negotiate a favorable plea agreement on your behalf, if appropriate, in order to avoid the most severe penalties.

Money Laundering Related to Drug Offenses

Money laundering is a term used to describe the act of disguising the proceeds of criminal activity as legitimate funds. In the context of drug crimes, this can involve a range of activities, including the use of shell companies and offshore accounts to hide the source of the funds, as well as the purchase of luxury goods or other assets with the illicit proceeds.

Under federal law, money laundering is a serious crime that can carry significant penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and large fines. In addition, the government may seize any assets that are believed to have been obtained through money laundering, including property, vehicles, and bank accounts.

If you are facing charges for money laundering related to a drug offense, it is critical that you have an experienced attorney on your side who can help you navigate the legal system and defend your rights. At Freedom First Criminal Defense, our attorneys have a deep understanding of the law and the ways in which money laundering cases are typically prosecuted. We will work closely with you to develop a personalized defense strategy that is tailored to the unique circumstances of your case.

At Freedom First Criminal Defense, we will thoroughly investigate the facts of your case to determine the best defense strategy. We will work to challenge the prosecutor's evidence and fight to get your charges reduced or dismissed.
