Savannah Drug Sales Defense Lawyers

Defense Counsel for Drug Sales Charges in Savannah

An effective defense against a charge of drug sales will vary based upon exactly what occurred in the case, and what the law enforcement agencies involved did prior, during and after the arrest. Every detail is crucial, as an error opens the door to reasonable doubt.

The types of evidence that must be reviewed in order to make a decision about a defense strategy include the following:

  • Police reports
  • Lab reports
  • Arrest reports
  • Witness reports
  • Details regarding search and seizure
  • Details regarding the investigation that led to the arrest
  • Details regarding the police stop
  • Details regarding the arrest procedure

This is just a starting point in crafting a case for the defense. At Schneider Lerch, LLC, we have extensive knowledge and experience in criminal law, and our attorneys who learned the ropes in the criminal justice system the hard way – serving at countless criminal trials. This is the type of Savannah criminal attorney you want fighting for you: seasoned, intelligent and with a record of positive verdicts. The first step in determining how to move forward with your defense is to listen to you and to hear your side of the story. You may believe you have no hope of winning, but in many cases there are such serious violations of rights that the entire case is dismissed. You owe it to yourself to have our firm review the evidence before you make a decision about your plea. You may be able to walk away, free, based upon the facts in your case.

    “Absolutely Amazing”
    “Being out of state they always kept me informed on everything that was going on with my case and were very quick to respond back if I had any questions or concerns.”
    Kendall T.
    “Each person I spoke with was able to answer my questions.”
    I did not know what to anticipate, as I had never needed to use an attorney in the past; however, they did go above my expectations. I cannot praise Carli enough. She was patient, non-judgmental, efficient and able to answer any question I had. As I live out of town, and was very nervous and naive about all of this, I could not have received any better representation.
    Past Client
    “Exceeded My Expectations”
    The bar was set high, yet Mr. Schneider exceeded my expectations. Mr. Schneider and his team really seem to care about me and my future, and were always easy to get in touch with. I feel as though Mr. Schneider is very well educated about the matters related to my case and if he wasn't sure he knew who to ask. People can expect the firm to be fully invested into their problems, and to do everything possible to ensure the best possible outcome. Of all the bad choices that I have made in my life, picking Schneider Lerch, LLC to represent me definitely wasn't one of them!
    Past Client
    “Extreme gratitude for all of the hard work and long hours”
    I know I didn't give you much to work with but you did an amazing job throughout the trial and I continued to be amazed at how good of an outcome we achieved. I truly believe the decisions you made and the clever strategies you used saved me from spending multiple years of my life incarcerated and for that, I fear I will never be able to express my gratitude fully.
    Past Client
