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.

Robert assisted me in doing something I didn't know was possible - finally putting a bad decision I made 14 years ago behind me. Although I appreciated his professional and respectful approach to his work, I hope I never need his services again. If I do however, I would not hesitate to call him.DUI Client
