Seattle Drug Crime Attorney

Drug Possession & Delivery in Seattle, Washington

Have you or a loved one been charged with a drug offense in Seattle? If you have previously been involved with the criminal justice system in Washington, you understand the serious nature of these charges and what is at stake. There were 1,475 drug abuse violations and arrests in Seattle during 2011, and the number of drug-related arrests in the city is well over that number.

The Seattle Police Department is continually taking steps to reduce the use and movement of illegal drugs in and around Seattle, and those who are suspected of these crimes will face severe repercussions under the law. If you have been arrested for possessing, manufacturing, or using an illegal drug, you must act immediately to protect your rights and your future.

At Lewis & Laws, PLLC are prepared to examine the evidence brought against you in order to build a strong defense. Our Seattle criminal defense lawyers are proud to provide high-quality representation to those in Seattle who have been arrested and charged with a drug offense, so please take a minute to read through and understand the following types of drug crimes that one can be accused of in Washington.

The laws relating to drug crimes in Seattle, and throughout the country for that matter, have become particularly tough. Many individuals who are accused of any type of drug activity will be aggressively tried and harshly convicted. Whether you have been accused of drug cultivation, manufacture, possession or trafficking, you can bet that a guilty charge will result in serious consequences. Individuals found guilty of any type of drug charge often serve time in jail or the state prison system, as well as being made to pay hefty fines and more.

Even the use of medical marijuana and prescription drugs can lead to drug conviction if the activities involving the substances are considered to be abusive or illegal in some way. With so many avenues of possible accusation and conviction, it is little wonder that the drug crime rates have risen over the years. More and more behaviors are being considered as criminal, and more and more action is being taken to identify and punish these behaviors.

Aggressive Drug Crime Lawyer in Seattle

Unfortunately, many individuals choose not to hire a lawyer after being charged with a drug crime because they feel as if they have no chance of winning their case. This is almost never the case, and most drug charges can be refuted based on illegally obtained evidence or other grounds. With more than 45 years of collective legal experience in criminal defense on your side, you can have confidence that your rights are fully protected when you enter the courtroom. In many of the cases that we handle, we are able to prove that the evidence against our client was obtained by an illegal search or seizure, which deems that evidence inadmissible and it can no longer be able to be used in court. Without incriminating evidence, it is much more difficult to convict you of a crime.

Our skilled legal team obtains alternative sentencing or dismissed charges for many of the drug cases that we handle, and we are prepared to help you. In order to have the best chance at defeating the charges against you, it is wise to contact a Seattle drug defense attorney at Lewis & Laws, PLLC today. When you fill out a free case evaluation form or call our firm, we can begin to gather the pertinent information that may help your case. There's no doubt about it – having a qualified and experienced Seattle drug crime lawyer on your side will give you a better chance at positively resolving your charges, so call our firm today!
