It is critical that you hire legal counsel if you have been charged with drug possession. Attorney David Johnson will be with you from the beginning, attending your first court appearance (called an “arraignment) with you. At your arraignment, Attorney Johnson will seek to have your case dismissed. However, in the event that your drug possession charge is not dropped, a pre-trial hearing will be conducted.

Depending upon where your drug possession charge is heard, negotiations will begin with the prosecutor upon a possible plea agreement and evidence will be gathered to bolster your defense. While negotiating with the prosecution about a favorable plea agreement, Attorney Johnson will file a motion to suppress the evidence against you.

A motion hearing will be held, where Attorney Johnson will challenge the evidence and the drug possession charge. This will involve arguing that the police did not have probable cause to search or arrest you, lacked a warrant, or violated your constitutional rights. This may result in the drug possession charge being dismissed by the prosecution. However, if the case is not dismissed, negotiations fail to produce a favorable plea agreement, or you decline to accept the plea agreement, your case will be set for trial.

At trial, Attorney Johnson will vigorously defend you and your rights. However, if you are found guilty, Attorney Johnson will seek all avenues available that will allow you to avoid jail or prison.
