Protecting Your Future: Legal Strategies For Drug Possession

We work diligently to protect all our clients facing criminal charges of any kind. But the most challenging cases can be some of the most common: drug possession. The de-emphasis of the social stigma for drugs is not matched by the criminal consequences of possession.

At Griese Law Firm, P.C., we are drug possession lawyers for people in Sioux Falls and across South Dakota. When clients come to us with drug possession charges, we get to work immediately to preserve their rights and protect their freedom. But we also spend a great deal of time helping them with the emotional fallout of serious criminal charges. We’re there for you, no matter how and when you need us.

Silence Is Your Best Weapon In A Drug Possession Charge

As drug possession lawyers, the most common mistake made by those facing allegations is the attempt to talk themselves out of it. Talking is exactly what prosecutors and police want you to do. They want you to unburden yourself. They want you to make excuses.

This is why your right to remain silent is so incredibly powerful. The state cannot make you talk, and once you have told them “I wish to exercise my right to an attorney and my right to remain silent.” The next thing that should happen is you get a lawyer to speak with.

Drug Possession Lawyers Hold A Light To The Entire Arrest Process

The majority of drug possession, drug distribution or any drug charge start with a vehicle search. Between the moment a police officer pulls you over until we speak with you as an attorney, a lot can happen. And a lot of what can happen may be good for your case.

Your only job is to – it bears repeating – exercise your right to remain silent, and otherwise follow commands. The law gives police a lot of leeway in searching and investigating, but it’s not limitless. If they mistreat you, if their suspicions were unfounded, if there is any issue with the search the arrest or the probable cause for the search, it can invalidate the evidence against you.

We’ll investigate everything about your arrest and the charges against you as a part of our defense.
