Minnesota takes drug crimes very seriously; although the laws regarding cannabis and hemp-derived products have relaxed significantly, possession and distribution of every other substance on the DEA’s Controlled Substances list remain illegal. If you’ve been charged with a drug-related crime, including drug possession, manufacturing, distribution, or trafficking, you could face felony penalties of up to 30 years in prison and fines of up to $1 million! With stakes this high, you need the help and advice of our experienced Bloomington, MN, drug crime lawyer. Don’t risk your freedom—call Archambault Criminal Defense today.
Drug Crimes In Minnesota Are Serious, With Stiff Penalties
Being arrested on charges of drug possession, or worse, manufacturing and trafficking, is scary. You may have found yourself swept up in over-zealous police operations, in the wrong place at the wrong time, or made a poor decision. Some people facing drug crime charges may be trapped in a vicious struggle with addiction and need help, not punishment. However you ended up with drug crime charges laid against you, whether they’re felony-level or misdemeanor, you need strong legal protection and serious advice.
The state of Minnesota classifies drug crimes as either misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the nature of the substance involved and the amount that the individual had in their possession. The individual’s intent may play a role in the charges they face, such as intent to distribute or trafficking charges. You could face felony charges for drug crimes; if there is evidence that you need to move the substance across state lines or if the manufacturing of methamphetamine is involved, then you could be in serious trouble.
Our attorneys carefully investigate how the charges were brought against you. Were your 4th amendment rights violated in the investigation or the police’s gathering of evidence? Perhaps you were the victim of an unlawful search and seizure; we question how law enforcement built its case and attempted to avoid unlawfully gathered evidence being thrown out. Then, we pick apart the prosecutor’s case against you, looking for weak spots and developing defense tactics to exploit them.
We’re dedicated to your rights and freedom and firmly on your side.
