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.
