Tempe Drug Possession Lawyer

Defense Attorney for Drug Possession Charges

Drug possession is typically considered a lesser drug crime and involves the least harsh of all penalties commonly enforced for drug offense convictions in Tempe, Arizona. However, depending on the amount of drug and the type, a defendant may find him or herself facing felony drug possession charges and serious penalties, without the likelihood of alternative sentencing to avoid jail time.

At the Law Offices of James Novak, we represent clients facing drug possession charges, criminal investigations and arrests. Attorney Novak is a former prosecutor here to apply his knowledge of both sides of criminal charges on your behalf as he fights to seek the best possible outcome for your unique case. Although you may currently be facing drug possession charges and may feel that there is no way to possibly avoid a conviction, there may still be an approach that will work to effectively avoid a conviction or maximum penalties. An experienced criminal defense lawyer can help you understand your rights and options in this regard.

For example, a defense that may be associated with drug possession and many types of drug charges is proof of an unreasonable search and seizure. If law enforcement conducted a search of your property and seized evidence without probable cause or a lawful search warrant, the search may be considered unreasonable and may offer your lawyer grounds to file a motion to suppress the evidence discovered in the search.
