Utah Drug Defense Attorneys: Marijuana and Meth Charges
Every few years or so, the Utah legislature and local law enforcement officials become especially alarmed about a certain type of drug. Right now, this is going on for methamphetamines (meth) among local law enforcement and prosecutors in Utah.
The legislature has passed strong anti-meth laws that carry significant criminal penalties. The possession of even the smallest amount of meth can result in serious criminal penalties. Even more significant is an arrest for meth manufacturing or operation of a meth lab.
Because meth is so easy to make and so easily transportable, law enforcement and prosecutors are cracking down severely on meth manufacturers and seeking maximum jail time in many cases.

Marijuana Charges
While marijuana may not cause the same fear and angst of meth, it still garners plenty of attention by Utah law enforcement and prosecutors. Both state and federal law enforcement agents are actively investigating individuals suspected of marijuana growth. In fact, marijuana cultivation is a such a serious concern that state and federal agents use a lot of hi-tech equipment to catch marijuana cultivators. This equipment includes heat sensing devices that look for patches of heat that may represent heat lamps for growing marijuana.

Challenging Drug Charges at their Core
Have you ever looked at a tower of cards? If just one card is removed, the entire tower can collapse. The same thing is true with drug charges. The prosecution's case often hinges on one piece of evidence which - if removed - can cause the entire case to collapse.
In some drug cases, the prosecution's case is flawed because it is based on evidence obtained as a result of an unconstitutional arrest, search or seizure. In other drug cases, the prosecution's case may hinge entirely on the testimony of an informant who is providing false testimony to get a more lenient sentence in his own case. In other drug cases, the prosecution is depending on a videotape or audio tape that is so grainy that it may be impossible to decipher.
By investigating cases thoroughly and preparing meticulously for the possibility of trial in each case, we have been able to help many of our clients obtain favorable results in drug cases.
