Drug Offenses
Being accused of a drug offense is scary, and dangerous. Such accusations are scary because agents involved in investigating such crimes are often aggressive and overbearing. These cases are frightening because the penalties can be so severe.
Drug crimes spring from a wide variety of fact patterns. At Kish & Lietz, we represent people who have been accused of growing, selling, producing, importing, delivering or possessing drugs. The drugs involved in these cases include cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, ecstasy and marijuana. We are also among the few attorneys who have successfully litigated cases involving GHB, GBL, and 1,4 butanediol.
In recent years, penalties for drug cases have become quite severe, with mandatory minimum sentences. In federal court, things are complicated even more by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Too many people hire lawyers who are not competent to handle cases involving these complex sentencing rules. The lawyers at Kish & Lietz are experts in these areas, and are asked to speak to other lawyers about these intricate federal sentencing rules.
An accusation of a drug crime is frightening for anyone and requires diligent work to defend. However, we work especially hard when our clients are young. It is so important to make sure that a youthful mistake does not become the defining moment in a young person's life.
Whether you are young or old, whether the crime involves marijuana, cocaine or some other drug, you need a lawyer who knows the law, and who is willing to fight for you. Feel free to call us at (404) 588-3991 or contact us online if you would like an appointment to discuss your situation.
