Drugs

We deal with all drug allegations including the possession, supply, importation and the manufacturing of illegal drugs.

Avoiding a drug conviction can be very important for your future. We can identify possible issues early on to improve your chances of success. We deal with cases involving Class A, B and C drugs including cannabis, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, MDMA, precursor substances and more.

We have particular expertise in search warrants, cellphone searches and phone interception warrants. These methods are routinely used by the Police to gather a significant amounts of data about people’s movements and interactions. It may be possible in some cases to challenge these searches ,resulting in the exclusion of evidence obtained by the Police.

CASE EXAMPLE 1:

A client came to us with six charges of importing MDMA, a class B drug. We managed to get the charges dismissed due to a lack of evidence and our client walked free.

CASE EXAMPLE 2:

A client came to us charged with the possession of drugs in a vehicle.  We were able to have the search ruled unlawful and the evidence of drugs not admitted at trial. The charges were dismissed due to a lack of evidence.

CASE EXAMPLE 3:

A client was charged with the possession for supply of methamphetamine with a quantity of 11grams. The penalty for this offence is a maximum of 20 years imprisonment and/or life imprisonment. We were able to negotiate with the Crown to have the charge reduced to possession of a Class A drug, carrying a maximum penalty of 6 months imprisonment. Our client successfully applied for a discharge without conviction and kept their record clean.
