Frequently asked questions about lawyers specialising in defending drug trafficking cases
What happens if I'm arrested for drug trafficking?
It depends on the substance, the amount of the drug, signs of its sale, and whether there are aggravating circumstances that threaten public health. The most important thing is to act from the very first minute: request legal assistance from a specialist lawyer, do not improvise a version, and understand exactly what you are being accused of before making a statement.
Yes, you can refuse to make a statement at the police station or in court.
Yes. You have the right not to testify or to testify only before the judge, and also to do so only with your lawyer specialising in drug trafficking cases. In many cases, waiting to see the police report and strategy avoids contradictions and unnecessary damage.
What is the difference between personal consumption and possession for trafficking?
It is not decided solely on the quantity. In this type of crime, the overall picture is valued: how it was packaged, if there was divided money, scales, messages, prior convictions, previous surveillance, or other indications. A correct analysis of the official report by a lawyer specialising in drug trafficking judicial proceedings and the evidence is key to guiding the defence.
What interim measures can be imposed in drug proceedings?
Depending on the case, provisional detention, bail, passport withdrawal, travel bans, or periodic appearances may be agreed upon, among other measures. A lawyer expert in drug trafficking legal proceedings can request alternatives and present arguments to ensure that the measure for the drug trafficking offence is as lenient as possible.
What do I do if I am a family member of someone who has been detained?
The first step is to locate them and request legal assistance from a lawyer specialising in drug trafficking offences as soon as possible. It is also advisable to gather basic information (full name, approximate location and time of arrest, whether there is a summons or search) so that the lawyer can act quickly and with good judgement. Our firm can help you with the entire process.
