State & Federal Drug Crimes

State and Federal Drug Crime Defense

At the Law Offices of David Elden, our criminal defense team represents persons facing very serious charges of drug trafficking under state or federal law. We represent persons accused of such crimes as importing, cultivating, manufacturing, transporting, or distributing large quantities of controlled substances of all kinds. Our experience with overcoming the significant challenges involved with the defense of drug crimes that will send you to prison for decades could well represent a significant advantage for you at every phase of the prosecution.

In defense of state drug trafficking or federal drug importation crimes, our firm takes advantage of every opportunity to attack the evidence and reduce your criminal exposure, from the earliest stages of the case through trial or sentencing. We analyze search warrants and the underlying affidavits to see whether we can use constitutional arguments to suppress the evidence of any drugs seized. We study the taped conversations derived from the wiretap; this is often used to support the issuance of a search warrant or an indictment. We attack the credibility and good faith of confidential informants, whose own vulnerability to prosecution might lead to an exaggeration of your involvement. Our experience allows us to identify and take maximum advantage of whatever facts, case law, strategic considerations, or constitutional principles can be found to support your defense.

Our firm represents clients charged with such drug offenses as operating a cocaine, meth (ice or crystal) or heroin lab, cultivating marijuana, or importing cocaine, ecstasy or marijuana from another country, as well as drug conspiracies. Some of our clients are foreign nationals, with very specific concerns regarding immigration status, vulnerability to deportation, or preference to return to their country of origin. We keep those concerns firmly in mind as we go to work on your behalf.
