Comprehensive Criminal Defense For Iowa Drug Crimes
The state of Iowa aggressively charges drug crimes, so it is wise to have an aggressive criminal defense attorney. Prosecutors file charges based on several variables, including:
- The circumstances in which the drugs were discovered or found
- The quantities of drug you allegedly possessed
- The type of substances involved
- Whether or not any distribution of the drugs occurred or looked like it was going to occur
- Any prior convictions you have had
Criminal charges can involve a wide variety of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin, Molly or ecstasy. Felony drug charges depend on the facts and circumstances of the case. Charges could include possession, distribution, possession with intent to sell, cultivation, manufacturing and trafficking.
You can also be charged if you are found with a prescription drug for which you don’t have a prescription, such as OxyContin, hydrocodone, Xanax, Valium or painkillers. Iowa has significantly accelerated charges and sentencing for offenses involving meth, particularly manufacturing or distribution.
Aggressive Defense For Iowa Drug Charges
As an experienced advocate, I understand how prosecutors charge drug crimes. I thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your arrest and will fight to have the charges minimized or dropped whenever it is appropriate. Together, we can confront these charges, and I will aggressively advocate for prosecutors and judges on your behalf. Client communication is important to me, and I will make myself available whenever you have questions and need legal advice.
