Wilton, Connecticut Drug Possession Defense Attorneys Fight for You

Connecticut Criminal Defense Law Firm Experienced in Drug Possession Defense

Connecticut is focused on the war on drugs, and this is evident based upon the increase in criminal penalties for crimes like drug possession that have occurred in the last 20-30 years. The state's penalties for drug possession are severe and can have long-term effects on the lives of those convicted.

If illegal drugs were found in your home, car, or on your person, you may be charged with possession, and the penalty will depend upon the type of drug, the quantity of the drug, and where you were when the drug was seized. If it can be proven that you had the intent to sell, transfer, or distribute the drugs in your possession, you will likely face even more serious charges. If you were previously convicted of possession and are facing a second or third charge, you definitely need an aggressive defense to protect your rights.

Connecticut Search and Seizure Law

In drug possession cases, prosecutors and law enforcement personnel often present evidence in court that was obtained during a search and seizure. If it can be proven that your rights were violated as the result of an unwarranted search and seizure, the charges against you might be dropped.

Law enforcement personnel in Connecticut are required to comply with extremely strict rules and procedures concerning the search and seizure of property. In the event that an officer acted unlawfully in the search of your person, car, or home, the court might not allow the evidence to be used against you, and without this critical evidence, the charges might be dropped.
