Practice Areas

Marijuana is one of the most common drugs one can be caught with in Delaware. It is known by several street names including Mary Jane, Weed, Pot, Grass, Dope, Herb, and Hash.

Possession can either be a misdemeanor or a felony depending on where you were caught with it. The severity of the charge may also depend on the amount of the drug that you were found with and whether any damage incurred due to the ingestion of drugs. Charges may also be increased for selling or intending to sell the drug (especially to a minor or on school grounds). 

Being convicted of a drug crime will follow you around for years after the arrest. Your life may be hindered on many levels when you least expect it. Working with a Sussex County Narcotics Defense Lawyer will ensure that your rights are protected throughout the entire legal process. Also, having an attorney in your corner will ensure that the best possible outcome is obtained on your behalf.

Marijuana Dui Defense In Delaware

Delaware Marijuana DUI defense is different than a conventional alcohol-induced DUI. Initially, it must be determined that the police had reason to pull you over. Once it is established that the police had sufficient reason to pull you over the focus of the defense may shift to how the marijuana was detected in your system.

Typically a blood or urine test is used to determine the concentration of THC in your blood or urine. There can be flaws in a blood or urine test that can help your case in court.

Flaws may be found in the test accuracy. We will look for flaws such as was the marijuana medically prescribed and how long had it been since you ingested it prior to driving. We will use our in-depth knowledge of Delaware DUI Law and Delaware Marijuana Laws to devise a solid and strategic defense. Having your charges dropped or dismissed is our ultimate goal. If that cannot happen he will do our best to have the charges lessened.
