Some of the controlled substances that are most often implicated in Ohio drug cases include:

• Marijuana;
• Cocaine and crack;
• Methamphetamines;
• Ecstasy (Molly);
• Heroin;
• Fentanyl;
• Oxycodone; and
• Many prescription drugs.

What Our Criminal Defense Attorneys Will Do For You

Were Your Rights Violated?

One of the first things our criminal defense attorneys will review when we take on your case is review whether or not your rights were violated. In far too many cases, Ohio police officers violate a defendant’s right to be free from unreasonable stops, searches and seizures. This right is protected by the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.

Can Prosecutors Prove the Crime?

We will also review the specific charges that are being brought against you, along with all of the evidence that the prosecution gathered to attempt to bring the case. Ohio prosecutors are required to prove charges beyond a reasonable doubt. If the evidence does not fit the charges, we will fight aggressively to get your case dismissed.

Are You Eligible for Ohio Drug Court?

In many drug cases, the best thing to do is to work on negotiating with the prosecutors for reduced charges or a reduced punishment. You may even be eligible to go before the Fairborn Ohio Drug Court, which could lead to avoiding major penalties.
