A Drug Charge Does Not Have to Ruin Your Life
Drug convictions carry harsh penalties in Washington — jail time, heavy fines, a permanent criminal record, and lost opportunities. But many drug cases have serious weaknesses. You need an attorney who knows where to look.
Experienced Defense for Every Type of Drug Case
Drug Possession
Simple possession charges can still carry severe consequences. We challenge the legality of the search, the identification of the substance, and whether you had actual knowledge or control.
Possession with Intent to Distribute
Prosecutors often inflate possession charges based on quantity, packaging, or cash on hand. We scrutinize every piece of evidence used to allege intent.
Drug Manufacturing
Manufacturing charges carry some of the harshest penalties. We challenge lab results, search warrant validity, and the reliability of informant testimony.
Drug Paraphernalia
Paraphernalia charges are often tacked onto other offenses. We fight to reduce or dismiss these charges and keep your record as clean as possible.
Prescription Drug Offenses
Charges involving prescription medications require a nuanced defense. We examine whether you had a valid prescription, chain of custody issues, and improper law enforcement procedures.
Federal Drug Charges
Federal drug cases carry mandatory minimums and aggressive prosecution. We provide experienced defense in both state and federal courts across Eastern Washington.
Drug Cases Are Built on Evidence. We Tear It Apart.
Most drug cases hinge on a search — your car, your home, your person. If that search was illegal, the evidence gets thrown out. We examine every detail of your encounter with law enforcement, the warrant process, lab testing procedures, and witness credibility to find the cracks in the prosecution's case.

Drug Convictions Follow You Everywhere
A drug conviction does not just mean fines and potential jail time. It can disqualify you from federal student aid, cost you professional licenses, make it harder to find housing, and create immigration consequences. The stakes are too high to face alone.
