Courts often come down hard on drug crimes, especially in federal court. That’s why you need drug lawyers capable of fighting for you. Harrison & Hart, LLC takes the drug cases that many other attorneys can’t.

Why You Need a Federal Drug Charge Lawyer

When you’re facing federal drug charges, you need a defense lawyer who is familiar with the federal legal process. A private attorney has the time and resources to devote to your case. Don’t rely on advice from someone who doesn’t specialize in federal courts. Instead, work with Harrison & Hart, LLC to tackle the allegations against you.

We Will Guide You Through the Federal Drug Court Process

Federal authorities, such as the FBI and DEA, will likely have conducted a significant investigation before you are ever arrested for federal drug charges. The prosecutor will likely have a significant amount of evidence pointing to you. It’s important to begin working with a drug defense attorney quickly if you think you’re being investigated or if you get arrested.

We will first help you get out of federal jail on bond and then appear on your behalf at hearings and conferences. We know you will want as few interferences with your life as possible, so we will handle the stressful parts and try to help you make the best decisions possible.

We will engage in the discovery process, which includes requesting information from the prosecutor about the evidence they have against you. However, we will also conduct an independent investigation to find our own information. We will review how the police arrested you, whether the search and seizure was valid, and if any of your rights were violated.

Plea bargaining will be a large part of the work our drug lawyers will do for you. If we can’t come to a beneficial agreement, we will try to get it dismissed with pre-trial motions or take it to trial, if necessary.

We Take on Tough State Cases

In addition to the federal drug cases we handle, we will also take on state level drug cases that are particularly complex. The New Mexico state court system can be harsh on people accused of drug crimes. You need to work with an attorney who can skillfully navigate the system and help you get through it.

You may have options other than prison. You might be eligible for alternative sentencing options like community service, house arrest, drug abuse and treatment programs, and addiction management. We will negotiate with the prosecutor and work to achieve your goals for the outcome of the case.

Common Defenses in Drug Cases

When you hire us, we will develop a strategic defense plan to attack your case. There are common defenses that we will explore if they fit the facts.

The police often make mistakes when making an arrest in drug cases. We will explore the following:

  • Illegal search and seizure
  • Entrapment
  • Invalid search warrant
  • Planted or insufficient evidence
  • Coerced or otherwise invalid confession
  • Use of an informant who received benefit
  • Continuation of an interrogation after an attorney was requested

We will determine if your rights have been violated and use that as a way to get your case dismissed, if possible.
