Possession of Illegal Drugs
Being charged with possession of illegal drugs can be a frightening and overwhelming experience. If convicted, you could face significant penalties, including incarceration, fines, and a criminal record. At Freedom First Criminal Defense, we have extensive experience representing clients charged with drug possession. We will carefully review the evidence against you and challenge any illegal search and seizure that may have occurred.
Possession of Controlled Substances
One of the most common drug offenses is possession of controlled substances — drugs regulated by the government due to their potential for abuse. This includes marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription medications. If you are charged with possession of a controlled substance, the prosecutor must prove you knew about the presence of the drug and had control over it.
Possession with Intent to Distribute
If you have been charged with possession with intent to distribute, you may be facing serious penalties including hefty fines and significant time in prison. Our defense strategies include challenging the evidence of intent, scrutinizing the circumstances of your arrest, and contesting any illegal searches.
Manufacturing or Cultivation of Illegal Drugs
Manufacturing or cultivating illegal drugs in Nevada carries severe penalties. We investigate every aspect of the case including the legality of search warrants, police procedures, and evidence handling to build the strongest possible defense on your behalf.
Drug Trafficking or Smuggling
Drug trafficking charges carry mandatory minimum sentences in Nevada and can result in decades in prison. Our experienced attorneys challenge trafficking charges by attacking the prosecution's evidence of quantity, intent, and your knowledge of the alleged trafficking operation.
