Will the government show leniency on drug trafficking for first-time drug offenders?

Our justice system is designed to not only punish criminals, but to deter future criminal acts. First time offenders are often eligible for Drug Court or Diversionary programs resulting in dismissed charges.

The outcome of your particular drug defense case can be affected by many factors such as the seriousness of the offense, the amount of illegal or controlled substance in question, your cooperation, precedent cases, current public pressure and political issues regarding drug laws, prosecution intentions, and the depth of your legal defense. The aggressive drug defense attorneys at The Umansky Law Firm are ready to evaluate all the factors affecting your case to try and secure the best possible outcome.

If you are charged with drug trafficking in drugs or controlled substances you could be facing minimum mandatory prison time from a minimum of three years to a maximum of life depending on the type and weight of the drug or controlled substance.

Is a warrant needed for any kind of search?

Unless you yourself give permission for a search, there must first be a showing of probable cause before a search warrant will be issued. However, if you are arrested, the officer can search your person and search your home without a warrant, looking for weapons, evidence, or stolen goods. Likewise, a police officer can search your car with no warrant if he believes it might contain illegal or stolen goods, or evidence.

If you’re arrested at home, and the officer has no search warrant, only the part of your home where you are can be searched and anything illegal can be taken. In some special circumstances, your home can be searched entirely, without a warrant, if the officer believes that evidence may be destroyed.
