Types Of Drug Possession & Trafficking Offences
Defences To Drug Possession & Trafficking Charges
Drug possession and trafficking offences are heavy criminal charges that must be dealt with cautiously. Virk Barristers help you by developing defences such as:
Lack Of Awareness
Our criminal defence lawyers can build a defence of lack of knowledge to help you deal with drug possession charges. We can submit evidence that you weren’t aware that someone planted controlled substances on you.
Coercion
A solid defence to drug possession and trafficking charges includes coercion. Our attorneys can claim you were threatened to carry the controlled substance against your will. The direct result of this defence is that it can help you avoid imprisonment and be let off with a simple possession charge.
Police Misconduct
If the authorities conducted an unconstitutional search which led to your drug possession charges, we can build a police misconduct defence. By submitting sufficient evidence, we can get the charges thrown out.
Punishment For Drug Possession & Trafficking Charges
The punishment for drug possession & trafficking charges depends on the type of controlled substance you’re found with.
All the earlier punishments are maximum sentences for drug possession & charges. Having an experienced criminal lawyer Mississauga with you can help you enjoy a reduced to no sentence.
