Common Drug Crimes In Minnesota
Drug charges vary in severity, depending on the substance, the quantity involved and whether it is your first offense or you have a prior record. Common drug crimes in Minnesota include:
- Possession: Having controlled substances for personal use
- Sale or distribution: Selling or intending to sell drugs
- Trafficking: Transporting large quantities of illegal substances
- Manufacturing: Producing controlled substances
Each of these crimes carries unique penalties, ranging from fines and probation to long-term imprisonment. Our skilled drug crimes attorneys can scrutinize every matter of your case, from the circumstances of your arrest to the handling of evidence, potentially finding ways to reduce charges or penalties.
Defense Strategies For Drug Crimes
Defending against drug charges requires a thorough investigation of the circumstances surrounding your arrest. We can assess every detail to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
For example, if law enforcement violated your Fourth Amendment rights during a search, our drug defense lawyers can challenge the legality of the search. In some cases, we argue that the drugs were not yours or that you were unaware of their presence. For first-time offenders, we may be able to secure a diversion program that avoids jail time and keeps your record clean.
The Stakes Are Even Higher For Immigrants
For noncitizens, a drug conviction can have devastating immigration consequences, including deportation. We are well versed in “crimmigration” cases and can be your legal defender to help minimize the risk to your immigration status.
