Escambia County Drug Possession Lawyer
In today's society, everything about your past is an open book. If you are convicted of a drug charge today, employers, schools, professional licensing agencies and others will be able to access that information in the future by conducting a routine background check.
At The Burns Law Firm in Pensacola, Florida, our goal is to protect your future by keeping your record as clear as possible. We defend people charged with all types of drug charges, including possession and sale of marijuana, meth, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and prescription drugs such as OxyContin and Xanax. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Protecting Your Constitutional Rights
Drug charges often hinge on search and seizure issues. Did police have a legal reason to stop and search your person, vehicle or home? If not, the drug evidence may be suppressed and the case dismissed.
Even if you gave the police permission to search your person or property, that permission may not have been freely granted:
- Were you approached by multiple officers before giving permission? If you were intimidated by police, that may be an unreasonable search and seizure.
- Did the police officer make false promises in order to obtain evidence that wouldn't normally be obtained? If so, your rights may have been violated.
Your rights under the U.S. Constitution are one of the things that separate the United States from countries that do not respect the rights of the individual. Many people have died protecting those rights. As your lawyer, Jim Burns will protect your rights at the time you need it the most: when you have been accused of a crime by police.
