Taking a Hard Look at Police Search and Seizure Methods
Law enforcement officers frequently bend the rules when gathering evidence to support a drug crimes arrest. With more than 25 years of criminal law experience, our attorneys know all the signs of improper search and seizure.
If search and seizure rules were not properly followed in your case, we may be able to convince the prosecutor to lower the charges against you or dismiss them altogether.
What If You Are Convicted?
In the event that you are convicted or decide to plead guilty, the attorneys at Lagattuta DeGrazia & Oefelein, P.C., focus our efforts on minimizing the penalties you will face. Jail time can sometimes be reduced if we introduce evidence of mitigating factors, for example.
Unfortunately, a drug crime conviction can carry serious social and financial consequences, in addition to jail time. Once you are convicted of a drug crime, you lose your eligibility for federal financial aid in the form of student loans, for example.
However, some drug crime convictions can be expunged — removed — from your criminal record. Our attorneys will give you detailed information about the possibility of expungement as your case proceeds.
