Serious Drug Crimes Defense Lawyer in Slidell, Louisiana
You've probably heard of the government's war on drugs. If you have been arrested and charged with a drug crime, you're a casualty of that war. Both state and local governments will go after you hard for a conviction. They have millions of dollars and hundreds of attorneys on their side.
Most states have minimum sentencing guidelines including prison time for drug possession, trafficking, distribution and manufacturing. In fact, our state's conservative St. Tammany Parish is even less tolerant of offenders and has historically mandated tougher penalties than elsewhere. In Louisiana, under the Habitual Offender laws, your third conviction for many drug offenses could mean an automatic life sentence in prison.
The know-how you need for drug crime defense
You have to get a serious, knowledgeable drug crime defense lawyer on your side, and fast.
I am attorney Vincent J. Lobello, and if you or a family member has been charged with a drug-related crime, I urge you to call. The legal defense I will provide can offer you distinct advantages.
- First, I am a former prosecutor, familiar by experience with commonplace prosecutorial tactics and strategies, which I routinely focus upon in an attempt to craft a superior defense case for you.
- I know the rules of evidence well. The most important factor in defending you against drug charges is the validity of the search and seizure that resulted in your arrest.
I will respond vigorously to any charge against you that is based upon evidence arrived at by unlawful means. The Constitution protects individual rights by mandating that government conduct, including any investigation that results in a search and seizure of evidence, be carried out in strict accordance with prescribed procedures and law. Conduct short of what is lawfully required deserves to be challenged, and I view my role as your attorney as centrally including zealous advocacy of any of your legal rights that have been improperly infringed upon or denied.
In many cases, the only way to avoid conviction is to have evidence suppressed due to a procedural error, so I will scrutinize each piece of the case that could possibly be challenged and suppressed.
Call me as soon as possible
Early involvement by a qualified attorney is critical to getting the best results in a drug case. It is in your best interest to contact my office as soon as you can for a consultation. If you hire me, I will start working on your case immediately.
