Drug Charges Defense
If you are charged with a drug felony in Kansas, you might face significant consequences such as fines, prison time, and a criminal record. You may even be charged with drug possession merely because of someone in your car with you.
You may feel like there is no way out of these charges, and you have no hope of beating the case. But with an experienced defense attorney from Gillmore & Wilson, LLC by your side, you can fight back against the accusations and get the best possible results. We investigate arresting officers' and investigators' behavior to see if there was an improper search.
Drug Charges and Penalties
Our attorneys will represent you in any drug-related matters, including:
● Possession of a controlled substance
● Possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute
● Possession of drug paraphernalia
● Sale of drugs (including prescription drugs)
● Drug trafficking conspiracy
Misdemeanor drug charges involving situations such as marijuana drug possession are often penalized in Kansas with probation. On the other hand, possession of substances such as cocaine, meth, and ecstasy and the unauthorized possession of a prescription drug are felonies. Various factors may trigger sentences that call for jail terms ranging from one year to life imprisonment.
We Fight for Your Rights
Gillmore & Wilson, LLC will conduct an in-depth investigation into your case to evaluate if the arresting officer upheld your constitutional rights. If the officer did not follow proper procedure, your case could be thrown out. In addition, we will look at all factors that led to the arrest and determine if there was probable cause for the search that resulted in your arrest. If it is determined that police violated your rights and illegally obtained evidence against you, this evidence may also be suppressed.
What If the Drugs Weren't Yours?
We will fight to prove your innocence if you were arrested for possessing drugs, but they weren't yours. For example, if there is a search of your home or vehicle, and police find illegal substances, there may be no proof that they belong to you. This is especially true if you have a roommate or if the drugs were found in a place owned by someone else.
Our team will investigate this evidence and show that there was no probable cause for arrest.
