DRUG OFFENSES

Drug Possession? Drug Trafficking?

Call Lakeman & Peagler, LLC — Birmingham, Alabama, Criminal Defense

Most drug crimes aren't committed by hardened criminals. Most are committed by users who've made bad choices in life. Prison, for these individuals, isn't the right answer.

Our attorneys are dedicated advocates who will fight to protect your rights and defend you as vigorously as they would defend themselves. If you or someone close to you has recently been arrested on a drug-related charge — call or contact our firm for a free consultation today.

At Lakeman & Peagler, we provide skilled criminal defense representation to individuals charged with drug offenses in the Birmingham area and throughout central Alabama. Our lawyers handle both misdemeanor and felony cases, and a wide range of criminal charges, including:

Drug possession (marijuana, cocaine, crystal meth, heroin, etc.)
Possession with intent
Methamphetamine manufacturing
Drug trafficking or distribution
Unlawful possession of a controlled substance
Forgery in connection with prescription drugs
Possessing a gun while engaged in drug activity

Whether the conviction is for misdemeanor possession or felony drug trafficking — having a criminal record can mean lost job opportunities, ineligibility for federal student loans, incarceration, and the loss of important rights. Because of that, our firm will examine and evaluate every aspect of the drug case, including issues of constructive versus actual possession, probable cause violations, search and seizure procedures, and arrest procedures as well. We'll also try to meet directly with the prosecutor on your case at the earliest possible opportunity so that we can discuss deferred prosecution and other ways to minimize your penalties and reduce the impact of a conviction.
