Experienced Defense for State or Federal Drug Crime Charges
The Hanchey Law Firm's criminal defense practice focuses on protecting the rights of people charged with serious crimes. In drug cases, our goal is to minimize the risk of punishment while expanding your options for a favorable result. For many of our clients, deferred adjudication or a sentence of probation will be reasonable objectives even if you're facing difficult felony charges.

Our first move is to get on top of the facts of your case and advise you about your options. An effective defense strategy for one client might not work at all in another drug crime scenario, so we work closely with you to make sure that our advice and representation is right for your circumstances.
If we see an opportunity for an early dismissal based on an illegal traffic stop, defective search warrant or other constitutional issue, we'll advise you and act accordingly. If we're stuck with the incriminating evidence, however, our defense will usually emphasize plea negotiations and the sentencing phase of the case.
Younger people and first-time offenders will often have a good chance for deferred adjudication. In cases like this, the government will often drop the charges if you stay out of further trouble for a certain period, usually two years. If you are convicted, we will pursue your right to expungement of the records to the full extent the law allows.
