  Defense Lawyer

• Facing criminal drug charges can be distressing,
  but having the support of a good legal team can
  improve the outcome of your situation. An
  experienced drug defence lawyer brings legal
  expertise, will take care of all the paperwork,
  pleading, and trial details while navigating
  around legal obstacles.

• An experienced lawyer at the helm will provide
  you with an understanding of your jeopardy and
  peace of mind, while working to minimize the
  consequences of your actions.
• When faced with drug charges, these are some of
  the many reasons you should only hire an
  experienced drug lawyer

Provide Expert Knowledge of Drug Laws

• Generally, experienced drug defence lawyers are
  experts on drug-related laws. This includes
  knowing what penalty accompanies each type of
  drug offense. Expert knowledge of drug offenses
  and their penalties could help ensure youre
  given a fair trial and sentence.

• Whether the charge is minor or major, the
  penalty will match. In some cases, the sentence
  may be better than expected, as legal expertise
  can improve the likelihood of a more lenient
  penalty. It doesnt matter if youre facing a
  fine or jail. Your lawyer will also have
  knowledge of the prosecutors and judges that may
  try your case. Just remember, the more knowledge
  your lawyer has, the stronger your defence will
  be.

Mitigate Risks by Acting Immediately

• It is important to get a lawyer involved as
  quickly as possible after you have been charged.
  After being hired, an experienced drug lawyer
  will take charge of your case. A proven lawyer
  knows that the sooner you act, the better your
  chances of winning.

• In some instances, moving at a snails pace
  gives the prosecution time to strengthen their
  case. In other circumstances, a lawyer that acts
  promptly, can mitigate risk. Initial, quick
  action from your defence team is also an
  indicator of how they might handle future
  obstacles. Handling obstacles promptly at any
  point in the legal process can also help mitigate
  risks and increase your chances of winning or
  receiving a more lenient sentence.

Perform Damage Control

• Damage control goes along with mitigating risks.
  Without a lawyer, youre constantly at risk of
  causing damage. Intimidation from law enforcement
  can make you say the wrong thing or even provide
  false information. Experienced counsel will
  prohibit such intimidation, prevent leading
  questions, or advise you on how to answer
  questions.

• They will also stop you from making uninformed,
  coerced, or impulsive decisions, as every
  decision must go through your counsel. Making the
  right decisions will ensure your case is stable
  and stays on equal ground with the prosecution.
  Furthermore, your lawyer can prevent you from
  incurring additional false charges.

Delegate Tasks to a Legal Defence Team

• To provide the best representation and build
  your case, your lawyer will bring a legal defence
  team. Pertinent tasks are delegated to this team,
  including

• Finding key witnesses
• Gathering relevant evidence
• Preparing certain court documents
• Cross-examining witnesses
• Finding expert witnesses

• This team will also ensure regular and expert
  witnesses are prepared to provide testimony that
  will strengthen your case or undermine the
  prosecutions case. Additionally, an experienced
  defense lawyer and team will design a unique
  strategy to fit your drug charge. A strong,
  unique strategy could include preparing you for
  trial, conducting an independent investigation,
  and making settlements or negotiations before
  trial.
