Serious Defense for Serious Drug Charges
The War on Drugs has had one clear consequence: Prisons in the United States are full of people found guilty of drug charges. Spending time behind bars is a very real consequence of a guilty verdict in a drug charge.
Cruz and Bibbs P.C., located in Indianapolis, is your resource for criminal defense of drug possession, drug sales, drug manufacturing or drug trafficking charges. As a former Deputy Prosecutor in the Metro Gang Task Force and a former Master Court Commissioner, our attorneys have experience with all levels of drug crimes and with all types of drug cases.
Representative Case: A client was charged with felony drug possession after an arrest by two officers. Evidence indicated drugs may have been planted. Attorney Lynn Bibbs filed a motion to dismiss the evidence and a plea with the judge to not re-file the case. The judge agreed with the motion and the case was dismissed.
Aggressive Defense for Tough Cases
Indiana has minimum sentences for Class A, B, C and D level felonies. Avoiding a drug conviction or obtaining a good plea agreement can mean the difference between zero jail time and maximum jail time. Our attorneys have a wide range of criminal defense experience and in many instances have been able to obtain either acquittals or favorable plea agreements.
Some drug charge issues which may affect the outcome include:
- Profiling and officer misconduct: Not all police officers are 100 percent honest. When racial profiling is demonstrated, a motion to suppress can be a successful defense tactic.
- Illicit drugs: U.S. prisons are filled with those who have been incarcerated for possession or sales of illicit drugs. Methamphetamine manufacturing is becoming increasingly common. The type of drug and amount makes a difference in your case. Cruz & Bibbs, PC has experience working with defendants accused of possessing or dealing in marijuana, crack, cocaine, heroin and meth.
- Prescription drugs: Unlawful use of prescription drugs, such as OxyContin, can land a person in jail for possession and also for fraud if a prescription was forged.
