Protecting Your Rights in a Drug Case
You have rights under the law, including the right to remain silent. It is important to exercise that right if you are stopped by law enforcement.
That is why we advise clients to call us ASAP at 973-540-0054. A skilled criminal defense lawyer at Maynard & Sumner can protect your rights in a drug charge case and help you avoid providing incriminating information to the police.
When we accept any type of drug or meth case, we strive to do two things. We build a strong defense to protect your interests and strive to negate the state's case. In order to do that, we investigate the charges thoroughly and examine all evidence. It is important to determine if the police followed appropriate procedures before, during and after your arrest, including seizing evidence with a properly executed search warrant and reading Miranda rights. We will apply to the state on behalf of our clients, if financial assistance is needed to help defray investigation expenses.
Our goal is to obtain the maximum reduction or dismissal of your drug charges. The attorneys at Maynard & Sumner are often able to pursue alternatives to jail, especially if this is a first offense. This often includes drug rehabilitation or a diversionary program. If your child under 18 has been arrested on drug charges, we can provide aggressive juvenile crimes defense and can help you pursue expungement.
