Strategies to reduce or dismiss drug offense sentences
When you’re accused of a drug offense, it’s crucial to have a drug lawyer who is fully informed about the specifics of your case. This allows them to develop effective legal strategies to navigate the legal system and ensure the best possible outcome for you.
Challenging the evidence can be an effective strategy as it seeks out any weaknesses or legal issues that could result in the suppression of evidence. For instance, this may involve disputing the legality of the search or seizure that led to the discovery of drugs, questioning the reliability of witnesses, or challenging the chain of custody of the evidence.
Another strategy may be to negotiate with the prosecutor to reach a plea bargain. This could involve pleading guilty to a lesser offense or agreeing to participate in a diversion program in exchange for a reduced sentence.
Similarly, your lawyer may advocate for alternative sentencing options instead of incarceration, such as drug treatment programs, probation, or community service. This can be particularly effective if you have no prior criminal record or if there are mitigating circumstances surrounding the offense.
Our drug lawyers have employed all of these strategies, including filing motions and presenting mitigating factors, to help our clients receive more lenient sentences or have their cases dropped altogether.
