Drug Defense Lawyer
We defend drug crimes all over Michigan with amazing results. We have had many cases dismissed or reduced to offense that will not abstract to the secretary of state.
There are ways to defend against any drug case. 1. Did the police have a legal reason to stop you? If they did not your case could be dismissed. 2. Did the police have a legal reason to detain you? If not the case could be dismissed. 3. Did the police have a legal reason to search you or your things? If not the case could be dismissed.
Besides legal arguments, the prosecution may not be able to factually prove that you broke a law. Were you actually in possession of the controlled substance? Were you legally in possession of a drug or did you have a special license? Was the drug actually yours? These are all things that can make the prosecutors case against you hard to prove.
