How to Beat a Maryland Drug Possession Charge
We can argue a violation of 4th amendment rights
if the police didn't have a legitimate reason to
search you, or your car or home where drugs were
found. I will file a motion to suppress the
evidence against you if this is the case.
There may be other ways to challenge the evidence
against you. Can the police prove that the drugs
were yours? I will force the prosecution to
establish all elements of the crime beyond a
reasonable doubt.
We may also be able to get the charges reduce in
exchange for agreeing to a drug treatment program,
or other terms.
How I will fight your case really depends on the
exact facts of your situation. Please call me to
talk about your charges, and I'll let you know what
I can do to help. There is no obligation for my
consultation. Call (888) 452-4344 to find out what I
