Why You Should Hire a Drug Crime Lawyer

Drug trafficking and many other charges carry mandatory prison time upon conviction. Early intervention by a Phoenix drug lawyer can be critical. You may already be under investigation. You may be talking to undercover officers or confidential informants without knowing it. The prosecution can use anything you say against you. When you work with Suzuki Law Offices, we take immediate steps to protect your rights and attack the prosecution's case.

We examine every facet of the investigation, the arrest, and the search and seizure by exploring:

Did they have probable cause for the warrants or wiretap?
Did they exceed the scope of the warrant?
Is the government's informant reliable or willing to say anything to help his or her own cause?
Do the amount of drugs and the circumstances warrant intent to sell or trafficking charges?

Our team can help you find the answers to these questions and construct an aggressive defense for your drug crime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Penalties for Drug Crimes in Phoenix, AZ?

In Phoenix, the penalties for drug crimes can vary depending on the type of drug offense and the amount of drugs involved. Here are some general guidelines for drug crime penalties in Arizona:

Possession of a controlled substance (i.e. cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, etc.) is classified as a felony offense. The penalties for drug possession may include jail time, fines, probation, and mandatory drug treatment. The severity of the penalties may depend on the type of drug, the amount of drug involved, and prior criminal history.
Possession with the intent to distribute or sell a controlled substance is also a felony offense. The penalties for drug distribution may include lengthy prison sentences, fines, and mandatory drug treatment. Again, the severity of the penalties will depend on the type and amount of drugs involved.
Drug trafficking or transporting controlled substances across state lines is also a felony offense in Phoenix, AZ. The penalties for drug trafficking may include lengthy prison sentences, fines, and mandatory drug treatment.
Arizona has mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses, which means that individuals convicted of drug crimes may face a mandatory prison sentence.

It's important to note that drug crime penalties in Arizona can vary depending on the circumstances of each case. If you're facing drug charges, it's important to consult with a drug attorney who can help you understand your legal options and work to protect your rights.

Should I Accept a Plea Bargain or Go to Trial?

Our number one concern is to help clients avoid prison time and allow them to return to their lives and loved ones. First-time drug offenders may be eligible for diversion (including TASC drug treatment) to avoid a criminal record. This opportunity is usually available just once, making it vital for you to work with the right lawyer even if you have no criminal history. If you have prior drug crime convictions or face more serious drug charges, we prepare for trial, but always probe for holes in the prosecution's case to expand your options. At Suzuki Law Offices, we exhaust every strategy to get charges dismissed, evidence suppressed, or to find bargaining chips to downgrade charges or negotiate lesser sentences.

Is Marijuana Legal in Arizona?

Contrary to what many people believe, Arizona has some of the strictest drug laws in the US. Even the possession of a small amount of marijuana can be classified as a felony. In fact, according to the American Civil Liberties Union, marijuana charges account for 56% of drug arrests in the state. While persons are permitted to use medical marijuana under the care of a licensed doctor as well as a program administrated by the Arizona Department of Health Services, persons can face severe penalties for violating Arizona marijuana laws.

What is Proposition 200?

Proposition 200 is a law created to protect the rights of those charged with numerous drug offenses in Arizona. This law guarantees lenient sentences for first and second-time offenders, but it is important to note that not all drug offenses qualify.
