• Importation, transportation, distribution or trafficking of cocaine, marijuana, heroin, methamphetamines, etc.
• Illegal possession or distribution of prescription drugs like Zanax and OxyContin

A Focus on the Rights of Clients Accused of Drug Offenses

About half of our criminal defense practice is dedicated to defending clients accused of drug offenses. Our first step is to thoroughly evaluate the evidence in your case in order to identify any procedural errors or mishandled that may result in the dismissal of charges in some drug offense cases.

In many cases, we have been successful in obtaining deferred adjudication or a reduced or suspended sentence for clients charged with a first offense drug crime and who demonstrate willingness to enter a treatment or rehab program.

We will fight to the end to protect your rights. Although we have a proven record of success in having drug charges dropped or reduced, we still prepare each case for trial. If you need the immediate assistance of a thoroughly experienced criminal defense attorney with a proven record of success in drug offense cases, please call our Baton Rouge offices at 225-383-9703.
