Drug Charges

Minneapolis Drug Crime Defense Attorneys

The drug charge defense lawyers at the DeGree Law Office thoroughly understand the intricacies of the criminal justice system and know the prosecutors and judges who work in it. For individuals facing misdemeanor or felony charges for drug possession, this knowledge is essential.

If you've been charged with drug possession or any drug-related crime, it's crucial that you hire a lawyer familiar with defending your Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure. The Patriot Act has made it even easier for law enforcement to search anyone they choose, so it is more critical than ever that you select an attorney who focuses on drug-related offenses. Our lawyers have successfully prevented charges from being filed and had many drug possession cases dismissed due to illegal search and lack of reasonable suspicion to stop.

Experienced Legal Help When You Need It

The experienced attorneys at the DeGree Law Office have defended hundreds of drug arrests in both state and federal courts throughout Minnesota. We handle felony and misdemeanor charges for drug crimes such as:

  • Distribution of Narcotics
  • Drug Trafficking
  • Cultivation
  • Possession of a Controlled Substance
  • Drug Possession with Intent to Sell
  • Manufacturing
  • Transportation and Importation of Narcotics

Drug cases can be tried in both state and federal court, and the penalties are generally more severe for a federal drug conviction than a conviction in state court. At the DeGree Law Office, we work to keep minor drug cases out of federal courts. Since we are licensed to practice in state and federal systems, our lawyers can represent you with a variety of drug possession crimes, including those involving illegal drugs and fraudulent prescription drugs:

  • Cocaine
  • Heroin
  • Marijuana
  • Methamphetamine (Meth)
  • Rohypnol
  • Crack
  • Hallucinogens
  • MDMA (Ecstasy)
  • Oxycontin and other Prescription Drugs
