Overland Park Possession Defense Attorney
Regarding Drug Possession
The state of Kansas along with City law enforcement has instituted an increased push in its fight against drugs by making more arrests than ever in response to pressure to eradicate drugs from our communities. Possession of any illegal controlled substance carries severe penalties. Prosecutors are eager to produce an increase in the number of convictions. Students and others who consider that mere possession of a drug for personal use or to share with friends may be surprised to find out how seriously this offense is treated by investigators, prosecutors and the courts. If you have been arrested for a possession offense, you need to consult with an Overland Park criminal defense attorney at once.
Possession Defense Lawyer in Overland Park
If an officer asks to conduct a search of your car, home or person you can and should refuse. If he or she didn't need permission they wouldn't ask. No matter how innocent you know you are, do not assist them by answering questions or giving information without the advice of your legal counsel. The severity of a possession charge, whether a misdemeanor or a felony, will depend upon the type of drug and the amount of drugs allegedly in your possession. For example, possession of a small amount of marijuana is a misdemeanor whereas possession of a similar amount of cocaine is a felony. A possession defense lawyer handles cases involving all types of controlled substances including prescription medications, methamphetamines, heroin, cocaine, MDMA and other drugs.
Conviction can result in imprisonment, cost you your current employment, affect your reputation, your credit, and close the door on future job opportunities. Law enforcement officers in their eagerness to "make a bust" overstep lawful procedure more often than is commonly thought. An experienced criminal defense lawyer at our firm has the expertise to use law enforcement's violations to great advantage in your defense. To learn more concerning your specific case call Gigstad Law Office, LLC for an initial consultation.
If you have been arrested for drug possession, contact an Overland Park criminal defense lawyer at our firm who is highly skilled in drug crime defense.

"Very Respectful and Understanding Throughout the Process"I contacted Gigstad Law Office when I found myself being charged with a DUI in the state of Kansas. Although I've used other lawyers in the past for other types of legal situations, I've found, much to my disappointment, that they can often be flaky, or lacking in timely communication and responsiveness. I found that Mr. Gigstad was just the opposite. His rates are reasonable, he didn't drop the ball when I needed immediate legal advice, and was very respectful and understanding throughout the process. I would definitely recommend his services.DUI Client

"He Is Very Adept at Guiding You to the Very Best Scenario for Your Particular Situation"I highly recommend Mr. Gigstad for your legal needs. He is very adept at guiding you to the very best scenario for your particular situation. He helped my husband and I with a case that would have required us to travel to Kansas had we not hired him. He made it possible for us to stay here in Florida as he went to all of our court appearances, negotiated so we would receive the lightest possible court penalties, including negotiating for the lowest fine that the court would accept. As a bonus, Mr. Gigstad is extremely reasonable! If you would like to get the best outcome for your case, hire Mr. Gigstad!Lindy
