Pitt County Drug Crime Defense Attorneys
Last updated on October 31, 2024
When you face state or federal drug crime charges, you’re often up against a system with experienced and aggressive prosecutors who have an unlimited number of resources available to them. However, prosecutors know that we are not afraid to go to trial when they refuse to make a favorable offer to our clients.
Throughout our years of practice, we have achieved favorable outcomes for numerous North Carolinians facing state or federal drug charges. Our criminal defense and drug possession lawyers at Fitzpatrick Law Firm recognize how serious these charges can be, and we will do everything we can to help you fight them.
The Drug Charges We Can Help You Fight
We have handled cases involving cocaine, crack cocaine, methamphetamines, marijuana, prescription drugs and numerous other controlled substances. The specific types of cases we take on involving any of these substances include:
- Drug trafficking
- Drug manufacturing
- Drug possession
- Drug possession to sell
- Prescription drug fraud
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
If you are facing exclusively federal drug crimes, know that sentencing guidelines for these types of charges can be pretty severe. Because of this, it is crucial you work with a criminal defense firm that also handles federal charges.
Common Defenses Against State And Federal Drug Charges
These can include, but aren’t limited to:
- Unconstitutional or illegal conduct by law enforcement during your arrest
- Prosecutors mishandling your trial
- Issues with the evidence
- Consistent errors in crime lab test results
These are only a few examples. Your defense strategy will likely depend on the specific circumstances of your case. It cannot be easily siloed into specific defense options. For more information about how we can help you approach your defense, call us at 252-999-8746.
