Winning drug cases requires more than negotiations—it demands precision, investigation, and aggressive courtroom challenges.

Common Defense Strategies We Use

• Unconstitutional search and seizure

Drug Charges We Frequently Handle in Atlanta

Drug Possession

Small-quantity charges that may be eligible for dismissal, diversion, or conditional discharge.

Possession With Intent

Often based on assumptions related to packaging, cash amounts, or digital messages. We attack these presumptions aggressively.

Drug Trafficking

Mandatory minimum prison time triggered by weight—not actual selling behavior. We focus on procedural attack and mitigation strategies.

Prescription Drug Crimes

Doctor shopping, fraud, unauthorized distribution, and opioid-related cases receive aggressive prosecution in Georgia courts.

Manufacturing / Cultivation

Grow operations, lab equipment, or alleged production facilities.

Federal Drug Crimes

Cases involving interstate activity, federal land, or federal agencies.

Diversion & Treatment Options

Atlanta offers alternatives to prison for eligible individuals struggling with addiction. Potential programs include:

• Drug Court

• First Offender Act

• Conditional discharge

• Pretrial diversion

• Treatment-based rehabilitation

These programs may prevent a conviction and preserve your record.
