Once upon a time, a drug-related criminal conviction would have made you a social pariah.

Hoyt & Hoyt, P.C. defends the rights of people accused of drug-related criminal offenses. The firm's attorneys offer more than 30 years of combined legal experience and a strong track record of helping clients to minimize or avoid harsh legal consequences in these types of cases. The firm's practice includes marijuana, cocaine, crack, heroin, methamphetamines, illegal prescription drugs, and more, and drug charges such as:

• Simple possession
• Possession of drug paraphernalia
• Possession of controlled dangerous substances (CDS)
• Possession with intent
• Possession of more than 50 grams
• Cultivation (growing marijuana)
• Sales, distribution, and trafficking

The primary ways to challenge a drug case are on the basis of issues involving possession, probable cause, search and seizure violations, and procedural mistakes made by the police at the time of your arrest. The lawyers of Hoyt & Hoyt will carefully review the facts of your arrest and other information to determine whether or not a successful challenge can be made on these grounds.

Failing this, the credibility they have with prosecutors and judges in this area can go a long way towards securing a reduction of charges and/or alternative sentencing options such as drug court or first-time offender diversion programs.
