The Phillips Law Offices, Drug Defense Attorneys
Drug Crimes & Offenses:
Drug charges are among the most common and serious criminal offenses in Placer,
Nevada, Yuba and Butte Counties as well as in Federal District Court. The attorneys
at The Phillips Law Offices have been handling drug defense cases with diligence
and success for more than 20 years. There are many avenues in which a drug case
can be successfully defended including, but not limited to: motions to dismiss,
motions to suppress evidence, defense verdicts, favorable plea arrangements and
treatment instead of jail.
The drug defense attorneys at The Phillips Law Offices have successfully handled all
types of drug and drug-related crimes. They have handled cases ranging from
simple possession of marijuana to manufacturing of controlled substances. We have
also handled numerous cases involving driving offenses dealing with illegal
narcotics and paraphernalia.
Drug charges can carry very stiff sentences including mandatory jail sentences and
loss of driving privileges. The prosecutor files charges depending on the type of drug,
the quantity, whether the drug is possessed for personal use or for sale, and the past
criminal record of a person. A conviction for a drug crime can potentially effect a
person for the rest of his/her life. Having a drug offense on one’s record can greatly
affect that person’s ability to obtain a job, get into school, and obtain a scholarship.,
among other things. It can also affect one’s ability to enter into any branch of the
armed services. Finally, a drug related offense on one’s record can affect that
person's ability to obtain citizenship in the United States and can result in deportation.
The consequences of a conviction can result in imprisonment in jail or prison,
probation or parole after a person is released from custody, enormous legal fines,
restitution to law enforcement for the cost of investigation, mandatory drug
counseling, registration as a drug offender with local law enforcement, and the
revocation of a driver's license.
It is imperative to retain an attorney at the earliest possible time in order to ensure that
the attorney can explore all avenues available to you. The Phillips Law Offices handle
all types of drug crimes and charges including, but not limited to, the following:
When you hire The Phillips Law Offices to represent you in your drug case, we will
always look behind the charges to see if there are legal motions that may be brought
to have your charges dismissed. Even if you were caught in possession of drugs, the
circumstances leading to that charge may not have been legal. Did the police have
probable cause to search you, your car, or your home? If not, we may be able to have
the judge throw out this illegally obtained evidence, leading to a dismissal of charges.
In many other drug cases there is a major issue as to who had "control" or
"ownership" of the drugs found. Even if you were found in a vehicle where drugs may
have been found the prosecution must prove that you had "dominion and control" over
the drugs and knew the "nature of the substance" found in the automobile was in fact
illegal narcotics.
