Anyone accused of a drug crime should hire an attorney before speaking to the police. An experienced drug charge lawyer can defend the rights of the accused, while thoroughly investigating the arrest to find out whether the police violated any search and seizure provision of the Constitution. Any violation of these laws may lead to suppression of the evidence and may get a case dropped entirely. Should drug treatment be a viable resolution to your case, Sullivan & Brill, LLP will coordinate with forensic social workers and substance abuse counselors to resolve the drug case in a non-jail fashion while at the same time get you the help you need.
