Drug Crime Defense Attorney in Gilbert

Defending drug crimes is not the focus of every law firm; some may provide this service as a "sideline" or as part of a practice that takes on any case of any type.  This is not the type of criminal defense law firm one would want to choose for a drug case.  It is critical that your lawyer is very experienced in both state and federal courts and has a long history of defending serious criminal drug cases.  At the Knowles Law Firm, the legal team is highly qualified to assist those who are facing drug crime charges and is prepared to aggressively fight for the freedom of clients who are caught in the system.

When simple possession is determined to be the case, Proposition 300 now requires alternatives to jail time.  However, the penalties do include extensive community service (often hundreds of hours), steep fines of thousands of dollars, random drug testing and mandated drug treatment programs.  Even if you avoid jail, don't consider that you won't feel the effects of a conviction:  you will.  It should be known that if you are above the legal threshold amount of any illegal substance, you will face a felony charge and may spend years in state prison.  In cases in which drugs are transported across the US border or a state border, it is likely that you will be charged with a federal drug charge. 

The federal government has serious penalties for those who are considered to have imported drugs for the purpose of distribution.  The prosecutors in such cases are often high-powered, and the investigation teams are federal groups such as the DEA and FBI.  When facing these odds, it is imperative that you have powerful legal representation fighting to defend you.  The legal team at the Knowles Law Firm is extremely familiar with the courtrooms in the area, including federal court, and is prepared to aggressively defend you, no matter what drug crime charges you are facing.
