A successful defense against drug related crimes charges include an investigation in to the police procedures and methods resulting in the seized evidence, and whether those methods were proper and lawful. Often times, these cases turn on the actions of the police and whether they were proper or improper.

Drug crimes are defined by 1) the type of drug, 2) quantity of drug and 3) method of committing the offense. Criminal penalties can range from a Class B Misdemeanor (with a range of punishment of up to 180 days in jail and/or a $2,000 fine) all the way up to a first-degree felony where the accused could be facing up to life in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.
