Possession with Intent to Distribute Defense Attorney

Raleigh drug defense lawyer challenges evidence in large drug cases

Drug cases where more than small amounts are involved, or cases where packaging of seized drugs indicates the likelihood of sale or distribution, or intention to sell, nearly always results in police increasing the charge to the more serious level of Possession With Intent to Sell or Deliver. Other evidence nearby, such as packaging materials such as baggies, or preparation materials such as scales, will also trigger the greater charge of Possession With Intent to Sell or Deliver drugs.

The possible punishments are greater, and the possibility of active jail time, larger fines, or more severe restrictions such as house arrest or Intensive Probation Supervision are more likely in the event of conviction.

It is very important to have an experienced, competent and knowledgeable lawyer representing you, in order to investigate the evidenced, evaluate the possible legal challenges to search and seizure, interrogation and other factors which determine the strength or weaknesses of the prosecution case, and also to give timely and accurate advice on whether to go full-tilt into a challenge to the evidence, or to begin early negotiations with the prosecution prior to positions hardening on either side. The goal of the Manning Law firm is always to achieve the best possible outcome for the client on each case’s individual merits.
