Defense Strategies in Drug Crime Cases: When facing drug charges, there are various defense strategies our team at Alston Landry may employ to protect your rights and freedom:

1. Unreasonable Search & Seizure: Challenging unlawful searches and seizures by law enforcement officers, which could lead to the suppression of illegally obtained evidence.
2. No Control or Possession: Arguing lack of control or possession of the drugs, particularly in situations where individuals were unaware of the presence of drugs or had no control over them.
3. Lack of Knowledge or Awareness: Asserting lack of knowledge regarding the existence of drugs, especially when individuals were unaware of the drugs’ presence in their surroundings.
4. Valid Prescription: Providing evidence of a valid prescription for the drugs in question, which could negate charges of possession of a controlled substance.
5. Momentary Possession: Demonstrating momentary possession of the controlled substance, particularly in scenarios where individuals briefly came into contact with the drugs without the intent to possess them.
6. Lack of Intent to Sell: Establishing that individuals lacked the intent to sell the controlled substance, mitigating charges of possession with intent to distribute.
