Defenses Against Drug Possession Charges
Being charged with drug possession does not automatically mean a conviction. Our skilled Long Island drug possession lawyers examine every angle of your case to identify possible defenses, including:
- Illegal Search and Seizure – If law enforcement violated your Fourth Amendment rights by conducting an unlawful search, evidence may be suppressed.
- Lack of Possession – Just because drugs were found near you does not mean they were yours. We challenge wrongful allegations of constructive possession.
- Lab Analysis Errors – We demand proper testing and verification of the alleged substance to ensure no mistakes were made.
- Entrapment – If you were coerced or pressured into possessing drugs by law enforcement, entrapment could be a viable defense.
- Prescription Drug Defense – If you were legally prescribed the medication you were found with, we can provide the necessary documentation to support your case.
Our legal team will aggressively pursue every possible defense to protect your future.
