If you have been accused of any type of drug crime, from possession to drug trafficking or importation, you should have a skilled attorney to protect your rights.

Please contact a Phoenix drug charges lawyer at the Younglove law firm for effective defense against serious drug charges. In every case - regardless of whether it is a misdemeanor drug possession offense or a federal drug trafficking crime - our goal is to carefully examine the evidence against you to get the best resolution possible.      

Drug prosecutions in the State of Arizona often are categorized as possession of drugs for personal use, or possession of drugs for sale. Possession for personal use charges can have a significant negative impact on your life. Depending on the classification of drug involved and your prior criminal history, penalties can range from probation to prison. In certain circumstances, diversion of the charges is also a possibility that an experienced criminal defense attorney can pursue.

Charges of Possession of Drugs for Sale requires a mandatory prison sentence if convicted, even for first time offenders. Successful defenses of these charges often depend on challenging the legality of stops, interrogations, and searches. Illegal search and seizure defenses are very fact specific and require a deep understanding of applicable law. Lack of reasonable suspicion and-or probable cause are fruitful areas to explore and attack. An experienced criminal defense attorney knowledgeable and up to date in the area of Constitutional Law is critical to your defense.

Classifications of drugs break down into Marijuana, Dangerous Drugs and Narcotic Drugs. The most common examples of Dangerous Drugs are methamphetamines and amphetamines. Narcotic drugs usually deal with cocaine and its derivatives; crack and crank. Heroin is also classified as a narcotic, as are narcotic prescription drugs such as Oxycontin (Oxycodone) and Percocet.

Experienced defense attorney Douglas Younglove and others at the Younglove Law Firm will work diligently to defend you. No matter what evidence the government has, it may be possible to have your case dismissed or your charges reduced. We may be able to convince the judge to recommend drug treatment or counselling rather than jail time.

In order to discover evidence that may result in the charges being dropped or your punishment minimized in your drug case, we explore legal issues, such as;          was the search and seizure illegal?  Was your detention illegal? Were you properly read your Miranda rights? Can the government prove drug possession beyond a reasonable doubt? In cases of prescription medication, did you have the authority to possess the drug?

Often the answers to these questions can result in your case being thrown out of court and charges dismissed. For experienced defense, call the Younglove Law Firm today.
