Virginia Beach Drug Possession and Distribution Lawyers
Do you ever wonder how the juries, judges and attorneys who we see on TV understand the advanced technology used to examine evidence? The fact is that, often, they don't. The result? Questionable evidence often moves through the courts, and opportunities to question its validity are lost.
At the Virginia Beach, Virginia, criminal defense law firm of The Law Offices of Patrick D. Lowder, P.C., attorney Patrick Lowder is a doctor of organic chemistry, and understands the sophisticated technologies and procedures used in analyzing evidence. And nowhere is this skill more useful than in defending drug and DWI/DUI charges. For example:
- Prescription drugs come in various doses and strengths. We can give an opinion of whether court certificates of analysis used to prove guilt are accurate.
- Sometimes substances only appear to be the drug that law enforcement officials say they are. We can attempt to verify whether the findings of the police are as valid as the prosecutors claim they are.
- Drugs change over time. We can determine whether evidence was properly preserved, and can challenge problems with the chain of evidence.
In addition, our two-member attorney team has a combined 35 years of experience in criminal defense law. We can argue for your acquittal or for a reduction or dismissal of charges based on whether a search warrant is valid, or whether police had probable cause to search you, your home or your vehicle.
If you face drug charges, including drug possession, drug trafficking or possession with intent to distribute, we can provide experienced help. Are you accused of intent to distribute? Were you pulled over for a minor auto maintenance issue and charged with a drug crime? Your case may lack the "probable cause" necessary to legally press drug charges. Do you disagree with the court regarding the specifics of your drug? We can easily follow and question the specifics of forensic analysis.
We have handled many claims involving marijuana, methamphetamines, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, rock cocaine, crack cocaine, powdered cocaine and injected drugs, as well as unauthorized prescription drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin and Zanax.
