Striving for the Best Resolution in Drug Crime Cases
Although possessing illegal cannabis or another controlled substance is a crime, we recognize that substance abuse can be associated with addictive disorders. We do not judge you, but we are tough when tackling the problem. A drug charge that leads to a conviction is a damaging mark on your record. Schools that would have accepted your application may you turn you away. Jobs you are more than qualified for may suddenly become out of reach. At Borsberry Law Offices, P.C. in Peoria, Illinois, we recognize all the issues that result in a drug arrest and help to find the best resolution for a potentially life-changing problem.
There may be more to your drug charge than just allegations of use. Addiction may be an issue, requiring you to retain an attorney that can find options best suited for your situation. Contact us at 309-740-7246.
Aggressive Protection of Your Constitutional Rights
At Borsberry Law Offices, P.C., we represent clients facing drug charges related to illegal possession or distribution of cocaine, heroin, marijuana, crystal methamphetamine and even prescription drugs, including abuse of OxyContin. In building your case, we identify if your Fourth Amendment rights related to search and seizure were violated by law enforcement. Some cases involve us determining if the substance in evidence is actually an illegal narcotic.
Your Alternatives to a Damaging Criminal Record
The damaging consequences of a conviction to drug charges requires a criminal defense lawyer to seek out every alternative and ultimately the best possible outcome to your drug charge. If you are a first offender, you may qualify for first offender probation, or placing you on court supervision with alcohol or drug treatment. Successful completion can mean a clean record.
Additionally, our firm will see if you meet the criteria for TASC probation. TASC stands for Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities. Completing drug treatment and a term of probation could result in your conviction being vacated.
