Seattle Drug Crime Lawyer

Aggressive Attorney Representation for Drug Crimes

In the state of Washington, it is illegal to possess, distribute or produce controlled substances.  Drug crimes can violate State and Federal Laws, since there are laws against drug activity at both levels. Our Seattle criminal defense lawyers can represent clients facing the following types of drug charges:

  • Drug Possession
  • Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
  • Possession of Marijuana (under 40 grams)
  • Illegal Possession of Prescription Drugs
  • Violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act (VUCSA)

No matter what your specific charges involve, a Seattle drug crime defense attorney will do their best to find a defense to your crime.  Through hard work and dedication, your lawyer will gather evidence, information, and witness testimony in order to come up with an effective defense strategy to use at court.  With many drug cases, police investigators will go to almost any length to obtain incriminating evidence, even if it is illegal to do so. 

We will do everything we can to defend your freedom and maintain your rights no matter what your drug charges are.  We can work together with you to build the best possible defense for your unique case. 

Seattle Drug Crime Defense Attorneys

Many people come to our lawyers asking about the kinds of penalties they will face if they are convicted of a drug crime.  The punishment for a drug offense will depend on the quantity of the drug involved in the crime, the classification of the drug that was involved in the crime (the higher the schedule, the more severe the crime), and the extent of the defendant’s intentions with the drug.  If a defendant has any prior drug convictions, this may also contribute to an increased sentence for a drug offense.  If you would like further information about your drug crime charges, you should speak with a Seattle drug crime defense attorney at our firm.
