We have a successful track record of defending even the most serious and high-profile drug crimes, providing top-notch defense services for the accused. Drug cases have unique circumstances, and the evidence and facts should be reviewed at once. In defending against a drug offense, your first action must be having the details analyzed by the skilled criminal defense attorneys of our firm.
Who We Are
McCarthy Lebit’s criminal defense attorneys help clients charged with drug offenses in state or federal court. We take an aggressive approach to the situations of each of our clients and we do so with care and compassion. Our attorneys have years of trial experience and will advise you on your options and present the best and most credible defense strategy for your case.
How We Help
Often, our clients have been wrongfully arrested based on unconstitutional search and seizure, vague testimony, or obscure stills, video, and audio files. When this occurs, we take the necessary steps to obtain and review all evidence from the government. Initially in our review, we determine if constitutional rights were violated and if so, we work towards having that evidence suppressed. Reviewing all evidence prepares us to successfully defend you against the charges made.
Some drug and controlled substance offenses that our attorneys defend include:
- Conspiracy
- Drug Trafficking
- Drug Possession
- Illegal Cultivation of Drugs
- Illegal Manufacture of Drugs
- Money Laundering
- Permitting Drug Abuse
- Prescription Drug Crimes
Who We Represent
We provide our services throughout Ohio, and we represent individuals who have been arrested and formally charged with a drug offense. Even if you have not been charged, but you have knowledge that you are under investigation, it is critical to seek credible defense counsel immediately.
Many drug trafficking offenses in Ohio are punishable by a mandatory term of imprisonment. Even minor misdemeanor marijuana possession carries a mandatory driver’s license suspension of six months to three years under the Ohio Revised Code. Additionally, a felony drug possession charge can have an immediate impact on your ability to be hired, vote, or obtain a license in specific fields.
