Delaware Drug Crimes Defense Attorney

Drug convictions—even for minor offenses—can have a greater impact on your future than many other types of crimes. The long-term consequences can be staggering, and even unfair:

• A drug conviction can make college admissions more difficult
• You could lose your college financial aid
• You could face immediate expulsion from a university
• It can hurt your future job prospects by making it impossible to get a security clearance or to be considered at all for some jobs

The short-term consequences aren't any better. A felony criminal conviction carries mandatory prison time. You will lose your driver's license, perhaps lose your professional license, and you are facing years of probation.

If you are facing Delaware drug charges, you need a defense lawyer experienced with drug crimes who has the knowledge, dedication, and skill to help you mount a solid defense. I'm attorney Andrew Witherell, and I've been helping people through the Delaware criminal justice system for over 10 years. I can help you.

Contact my Wilmington law office for immediate help with any type of drug charge in Delaware or federal courts. First-time possession of marijuana, multiple charges for running a meth lab, driving under the influence of drugs, or trafficking cocaine—whatever your charge, I can handle your case.

Call a Criminal Defense Lawyer Early

The earlier you get a defense attorney involved in your drug case, the more likely we are to be able to steer the direction of your defense, including negotiating with the prosecutor for lesser charges, lower bail, or a lesser sentence.

In every criminal case, the state has the burden of proof. Do they really have the evidence? I will review the basis for your arrest and examine the search warrant to see if evidence was seized illegally. I will make the state prove every element of the crime.

In many criminal cases, there are alternative charges and alternative sentencing options. Early and dedicated defense can make a huge difference in how your case moves forward.

Contact me to schedule a free initial consultation. My office is located just minutes from I-95 in Wilmington, close to the courthouse, or I can meet with you in prison.
