Our Drug Offences expertise
Our solicitors provide expert advice and representation regarding serious drug offences at all stages of the criminal proceedings, from the initial police interview to the final Crown Court trial.
Drug offences and the respective sentences on conviction can range from a discharge for simple possession to a life sentence and/ or unlimited fine for the supply, production or importation of controlled drugs. Depending on the type and class of drug in question, as well as the level of culpability, harm, and potential aggravating factors which may exacerbate your legal position, the consequences of such charges can be grievous if not defended properly. It is imperative to engage specialist legal representation to achieve the best possible outcome in your case; this may be in securing the lowest possible sentence by expertly argued mitigation on a guilty plea or a successful acquittal at trial.
Our objective is always to secure the best result possible in line with your instructions; to that end, we work with the best criminal barristers to collaboratively build an air-tight case and obtain the highest quality representation for your defence.
