Experienced Defense Against Drug Charges in Southern Arizona
Drug crime cases often hinge on simple facts. What type of drug was involved?
Whether or not the quantity exceeds the threshold amount? How was the drug packaged? Where were the drugs located? Under what circumstances were the drugs uncovered by law enforcement? The answers to questions like these can be the cornerstone to your defense.
At The Law Office of Arlene Debra Leoni, P.L.L.C., in Tuscon, Arizona, I have over 10 years of criminal law experience. As a former prosecutor and now a dedicated criminal defense attorney, I am able to analyze the details of drug crimes cases and protect my clients' rights.
Misdemeanor or Felony?
Drug possession accusations may seem simple, but even mere possession can result in felony charges. Don't try to fight drug charges without an experienced lawyer's help.
I have defended adults and juveniles against many different drug charges and will represent clients on the following charges, including:
- Simple drug possession, including possession of marijuana, cocaine, prescription drugs, etc.
- Possession with intent to sell
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
- Transportation of dangerous drugs
- Manufacturing drugs, commonly methamphetamine
- Drug trafficking
One of my initial goals is to determine whether your facts support having the charges against you dropped or reduced to a lower level crime. Even if you were charged with a felony initially, I may be able to show that you should not have been charged with anything other than a simple possession or a misdemeanor.
From there, I will work to accomplish your legal goals, whatever they may be. I will give you my advice about whether a plea bargain is in your best interests. If you want to fight the charges against you, I will take your case to trial.
If you are facing drug charges in the Tucson area, call 520-300-9758 or contact me online to schedule an appointment with me. We will talk through your situation, and I will give you an honest evaluation of your case.
