Facing drug charges may seem hopeless, but people beat their cases every day. At Murell Law, our mission is to get you the most favorable results possible. Being arrested for drug charges is not a guilty verdict.
A conviction for drug charges will affect you long after the immediate fines and potential jail time, making it that much harder to get your life back. That’s the truth, but it’s no reason to lose hope. Some of our clients have been rejected by every other lawyer they meet with before they talk to us. We don’t shy away from tough cases because we believe your story deserves to be told, and you should be able to tell it fearlessly.

If you want to keep drug charges off your criminal record, your best strategy is to hire a defense team that will put in the work. We aggressively investigate every case we take on, including talking to witnesses, gathering evidence, and thoroughly reviewing police reports, court documents, bodycam footage, video feeds, and communications. Some common defenses we employ when defending drug charges include:
Illegal search and seizure
Lack of probable cause
Lack of reasonable suspicion
Law enforcement mistakes during arrest
Faulty lab tests
Procedural mistakes during testing
Lack of possession or knowledge of possession
Substance use disorder that requires treatment, not punishment
Keeping your record clear is our primary goal. We want our clients to walk away from their charges proudly and return to their normal lives. We achieve that through:
Empowering you with education about the charges you’re facing and the criminal proceedings
Working toward the most positive outcome for your case
Keeping your record free of charges
Restoring your hope, dignity, reputation, and regular daily life
