Drug Possession With Intent to Distribute
If the prosecution is charging you with possession with intent to distribute, they have the burden to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Mere possession of drugs is not enough to prove guilt in an intent to distribute case. The prosecution must prove that you had intent to distribute drugs. Although intent can be proven through circumstantial evidence, it is often difficult for prosecutors to prove this element of the case.
The key to effectively defending your rights is to retain an experienced attorney who understands how to analyze all of the relevant facts and evidence in your case. Our attorneys have nearly 50 years of collective experience and have worked as prosecutors as well as defense attorneys. Our experience as prosecutors and defense attorneys allows us to see each case from both sides. This better enables our firm to carefully scrutinize evidence, cross-examine witnesses and determine when the state has weaknesses in its case.
In each case we handle, we seek the best possible method to protect our client's freedom, rights and interests. We are dedicated advocates who will not hesitate to take your case to trial if we feel the prosecution does not have sufficient evidence to prove their case. If the prosecution has significant evidence and it cannot be suppressed or excluded through legal objections, we will seek the best possible plea agreement on your behalf that minimizes any potential jail time, probation, fines or other penalties.
