Athens Lawyers Defending People Against Possession, Trafficking & Other Drug Charges
If you or a loved one has been arrested for either a misdemeanor or felony drug charge, or if you have reason to believe that you are being investigated in connection with drug crimes, it is critical to retain a criminal defense attorney who understands every aspect of the criminal justice system. At Timmons, Warnes & Anderson, our experienced lawyers have successfully defended people against drug charges in a wide variety of situations.
Drug Possession Charges
In most drug possession cases, issues involving search and seizure are at the heart of the defense. Our experienced criminal defense attorneys will investigate the circumstances surrounding your arrest, looking to find any irregularities in the state’s evidence. If it appears that the police violated your Fourth Amendment rights, we will ask the court to suppress the illegally obtained evidence.
Drug Trafficking Charges
Trafficking charges are often based on unreliable evidence. Prosecutors often rely on the testimony of criminals or confidential informants. Typically, these individuals are only testifying in exchange for a reduced sentence or a dismissal of the charges altogether. If we have to go to trial in your drug trafficking case, you can be assured that we will take the necessary steps to show the weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
Our attorneys represent people facing all state and federal drug charges, including:
- Drug possession
- Drug trafficking/sales
- Distribution/possession with intent to distribute
- Manufacture of marijuana/ecstasy/other illegal drugs
If you have been arrested for a drug crime and need help, contact our law office in Athens, Georgia. We offer a free consultation to discuss your case.
Federal Charges
The penalties associated with federal charges are almost always more severe than those at the state level. Unlike drug charges at the state level, sentencing guidelines at the federal level give judges very little discretion. If you or a loved one is facing federal charges, it is vital to have knowledgeable, experienced representation.
Defending College Students
Our attorneys also have considerable experience representing college students who have been arrested for DUI, underage possession of alcohol, possession or marijuana, or other drug possession charges.
