Fairfax Drug Offenses Defense Attorney

Northern Virginia Drug Possession and Trafficking Defense Lawyer

Drug offenses carry severe penalties and are aggressively prosecuted throughout Virginia. Certain drug offenses are punishable by up to 40 years in prison and others even carry the possibility of a life sentence. Narcotics cases can be complex, as they often involve constitutional search and seizure issues, scientific and technical issues, witness credibility issues, and other evidentiary issues.

Given the crushing penalties for drug convictions (and the potential defense issues that, if pursued, can work in your favor), anyone charged with a drug related crime should consult competent legal counsel. You must be absolutely certain that your Fairfax and Northern Virginia criminal drug defense  attorney understands how narcotics investigations are developed and proceed, and the mechanics of a narcotics prosecution. Only former prosecutors have an inside knowledge of how drug charges are prosecuted. This insider experience can give former prosecutors an edge when defending clients against complex drug charges.

At Manikas Law LLC, a former prosecutor will offer you advice and counsel on misdemeanor or felony drug charges. We handle all state and federal drug charges, including:

• Drug Possession (Va. Code 18.2-250 & Va. Code 18.2-250.1)
