Providing A Strong Defense Against Drug Distribution Charges
In Utah, drug distribution, or the sale of illegal drugs, is a felony offense. Penalties for felonies can significantly affect your life. If convicted, you could face:
- Community service
- A potentially lengthy prison sentence
- Hefty fines
- Drug Court Programs
- Lengthy probation period
The Law Office of Steven L. Newton, I understand your concerns and can help protect your rights. As a former prosecutor, I can evaluate your case from all angles. I will thoroughly investigate your case and negotiate with the prosecution to try and reduce your charges. However, I am always prepared to take your case to trial if I believe that is the best path to a successful resolution.
Witness Statements
To prepare successful drug distribution defense strategies, I investigate every detail of your arrest and charges. Witnesses, in particular, play an important role in defending your case. I try to find people who have information about your arrest. Perhaps they heard or saw something that contradicts the police report.
On the other side of the spectrum, the state could have their own witnesses. I can investigate the state's witnesses to see what type of criminal history they have. I can also determine if they were offered a deal in exchange for testifying against you. Investigating the witnesses can help establish that they are biased and their testimony is not trustworthy.
