Protecting Your Future

Many teens and young adults do not realize the harsh penalties that a heroin possession charge can bring. Given the way that the laws regarding heroin are written, it is hard to avoid facing felony-level charges if you are arrested with heroin. If you are convicted, you would be tagged as a convicted felon for the rest of your life, making it hard to get into college, obtain a job, or even rent an apartment.

Many heroin arrests follow a vehicle stop after a transaction that occurs on the street. As your lawyer, Mr. Nathe would carefully examine the circumstances of your arrest to determine if the search and seizure of drug evidence was legal. In their zeal to make arrests, many police officers stop and search vehicles without probable cause to believe that evidence or drugs are located in the vehicle. If the search and seizure was illegal, the drug evidence may be suppressed.

As part of an effective defense, we will analyze your case for applicability of all programs, including:

• First offender probation
• TASC probation
• Drug court

We will also work to prevent asset forfeitures related to the arrest.
