Thorough Investigation · Strong Defense
As your child's legal advocate, I will fully investigate the circumstances of the charge. This includes viewing evidence such as school videos and talking to witnesses to discover what happened. Law enforcement officers sometimes fail to fully investigate the situation. Often, minors caught with drugs were holding them for friends. If this took place in your child's case, I will identify evidence to bring this fact to light.
The question of whether or not the incident took place on school grounds has implications for what kind of search was appropriate. I will review your child's case thoroughly, looking for any evidence of illegal search and seizure, which can result in suppression of evidence and dismissal of charges.
