RELENTLESS SOUTH DAKOTA ATTORNEYS DEFEND AGAINST DRUG POSSESSION CHARGES

A law enforcement officer's eagerness to make an arrest or a prosecutor's drive for a conviction should never come at the cost of your rights. At Griese Law Firm, P.C., our attorneys are committed to challenging drug possession charges by identifying errors in procedures or evidence that may lead to an unfair outcome. We meticulously examine every aspect of your case to ensure that your rights were not violated, including:

• The Search — Police must have a legitimate reason and proper authorization to conduct a search. If they didn't, we’ll challenge the legality of the search and seizure.

• The Evidence — All evidence collected, including any drugs found, must be properly documented and handled according to strict protocols. We examine if any mishandling or contamination occurred.

• The Arrest — For your arrest to be valid, law enforcement must follow proper procedures, including reading your Miranda rights. Any deviation can weaken the prosecution's case.

• Possession and Control — Proving possession is more complex than it seems. We investigate to determine whether you had actual control or knowledge of the alleged substances.

• Intent to Distribute — Charges for intent to distribute require specific evidence, such as large quantities or packaging materials. We challenge the interpretation of these elements to reduce or dismiss the charges.
