The Phoenix DUI lawyers at Heath Law will work with you to identify solutions for your case and help fight against these charges before they result in problematic consequences.

Drug Offenses in Phoenix

Drug charges are a serious offense in Arizona, and it's essential to have a team that understands the legal strategies to help you fight against charges of possession, distribution, or drug trafficking. The Heath Law team works hard to challenge evidence, display a lack of intent, and identify procedural errors that could help bolster your defense.

How Heath Law Builds
Your Defense in Phoenix

A thoroughly researched and planned defense strategy that can be eloquently delivered in court is the key to a successful criminal defense. Heath Law has developed an expert strategic approach to building strong and successful defenses and has the expertise to deliver them in a courtroom in a way that they will be understood and respected.

  • The first step in our strategic approach is gathering and reviewing all of the evidence that is available in your case.

    Our team thoroughly reviews every piece of evidence, from witness statements and digital communications to police reports. We will comb through every detail and identify any discrepancies that will serve to dismiss evidence or call the credibility into question in the courtroom.

  • The Heath Law team has a thorough understanding of the proper procedures that law enforcement must follow in a criminal investigation, and we will ensure that your investigation was conducted to the letter of the law.

    We will call out any improper searches, Miranda rights violations, or coerced confessions that could call the procedures into question and serve to bolster your defense.

  • Through the use of testimonies from forensic experts, medical professionals, or industry specialists, we will ensure that there is an expert on your side who can provide testimony that will help your case.

Common Defense Strategies to Reduce or Dismiss Charges

Challenging Witness Credibility

If a witness testifying against you is unreliable or biased, the Heath Law team will focus on uncovering the truth and proving to the court that this unreliable testimony cannot be trusted.

Mistaken Identity or Lack of Intent

Through strategies like proving the case is an instance of mistaken identity, Heath Law can work to have charges dismissed. Proving intent is essential to the conviction of many crimes, and by displaying a lack of intent, charges could be reduced or dropped altogether.

Plea Negotiations

In criminal cases that ultimately end in plea negotiation, the Heath Law team will continue to fight for you to the very end. Through strategic negotiations, our team can work to minimize penalties even in cases where you are found guilty of a crime.

Procedural Errors

Ensuring that every aspect of police procedural work was done to the letter of the law is essential for a successful prosecution, and our team will work hard to identify if there were any instances of improper search and seizure or failure to follow due process throughout the criminal investigation against you.
