How a Drug Crime Attorney Can Help

Drug crime cases are rarely straightforward. They often involve complex issues like illegal searches, improper police conduct, questionable lab results, and overcharged offenses. That’s why you need more than just any attorney; you need someone who understands how these cases are built, and more importantly, how to break them down.

Analyzing Every Detail of the Arrest

From the traffic stop or warrant execution to the actual search, we examine the legality of every step law enforcement took. If your rights were violated, we’ll move to suppress evidence, and that can weaken or even dismantle the prosecution’s case.

Challenging the Charges

Many drug cases are overcharged. A personal-use amount may be exaggerated into an intent-to-distribute charge. Prescription errors might be charged as fraud. We work to get charges reduced or dropped altogether.

Protecting Your Record

If you’re eligible for diversion programs or conditional dismissal, we explore every option to avoid a conviction. Keeping your record clean is a top priority.

Building a Custom Defense Strategy

No two cases are alike. We take the time to understand your story and build a defense that’s tailored to your circumstances, your goals, and your future.

Guiding You Through the Court Process

Facing criminal charges can be overwhelming. We handle court appearances, filings, and deadlines, keeping you informed and prepared every step of the way.

The Legal Process for Drug Crime Cases in Wyoming

Facing drug charges in Wyoming involves several stages.

Arrest and Booking

You may be arrested during a traffic stop, at your home, or as part of a larger investigation. You’ll be taken to jail, booked, and likely required to post bail to be released.

Initial Appearance and Bail Hearing

This is your first court appearance. The judge will explain the charges and determine bail. Having a trial attorney present can help reduce or eliminate bail costs.

Arraignment

At your arraignment you’ll formally enter a plea. We may also begin negotiating with the prosecutor and identifying early opportunities for dismissal or charge reduction.

Discovery and Pre-Trial Motions

We request all evidence the prosecution has against you and begin filing motions such as to suppress illegally obtained evidence or dismiss insufficient charges.

Plea Bargaining or Trial Preparation

In some cases, we negotiate reduced charges or alternative sentencing. In others, we prepare for trial with expert witnesses, lab analysis, and cross-examination strategy.

Trial

If your case goes to trial, we aggressively defend you in court by challenging the prosecution’s evidence, exposing flaws in their case, and fighting for a not guilty verdict.

Sentencing (if convicted)

If convicted, we advocate for the lightest sentence possible, including probation, treatment programs, or community service instead of jail time.

Effective Defense Strategies in Wyoming Drug Crime Cases

Winning a drug case requires more than arguing innocence. It requires knowing the law, understanding police procedure, and exposing the weaknesses in the prosecution’s story. Here are some of the strategies we’ve used successfully:

Illegal Search and Seizure

Was the traffic stop justified? Did the officer have probable cause to search your car or home? Were your Fourth Amendment rights violated? If so, the evidence may be inadmissible and that can lead to dismissal.

Lack of Possession

Just being near drugs doesn’t mean you possessed them. We challenge assumptions and make the state prove that you had knowledge, control, and intent, especially in shared vehicles or living spaces.

Lab Errors or Chain of Custody Issues

Drug tests must follow strict protocols. We question the accuracy of lab results, test purity levels, and look for any evidence mishandling.

Entrapment

If undercover officers or informants pressured or coerced you into committing a crime you wouldn’t have otherwise committed, that may be grounds for an entrapment defense.

Medical Explanation or Legal Prescription

In some cases, you may have had a legal right to possess the substance but lacked proper documentation. We explore legitimate explanations to challenge the charges.

Diversion for First-Time Offenders

If you're eligible, we may pursue diversion programs, deferred adjudication, or conditional dismissal that avoids jail time and keeps your record clean.

Drug Crime FAQs

What counts as a drug crime in Wyoming?

Drug crimes in Wyoming include a wide range of offenses, such as possession, distribution, trafficking, manufacturing, and prescription fraud related to controlled substances like marijuana, meth, heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, and opioids.

Is marijuana legal in Wyoming?

No. Unlike some other states, Wyoming still considers marijuana illegal for both recreational and medical use. Even small amounts can result in criminal charges and a permanent record.

What happens if I’m caught with drugs in Wyoming for the first time?

If you’re facing a first-time drug possession charge in Wyoming, such as for marijuana or a controlled substance, it’s typically a misdemeanor. But you could still face up to a year in jail and a fine up to $1,000. That said, the outcome may vary depending on the type and amount of drug involved. Our team works to minimize the consequences and keep your record clean whenever possible.

What happens if I’m caught with a small amount of drugs?

Even a small amount of a controlled substance can result in misdemeanor charges, jail time, fines, and a criminal record. If prosecutors believe you intended to distribute, even without evidence, you could face felony charges.

Can I be charged for drugs found in someone else’s car or home?

Yes, you can be charged with possession even if the drugs weren’t physically on you. Prosecutors must prove you had knowledge and control over the drugs, but we can often challenge these assumptions in court.

What are the penalties for a drug conviction in Wyoming?

Penalties vary based on the type and amount of drug, whether it’s a misdemeanor or felony, and your prior record. Consequences may include jail or prison time, fines, probation, loss of your driver’s license, and a permanent criminal record.

What should I do if I’m arrested for a drug offense?

Stay calm, don’t speak to police without a lawyer, and call a defense attorney immediately. The sooner you involve a lawyer, the better your chances of protecting your rights and building a strong defense.

Can drug charges be dismissed or reduced?

Yes. Many cases can be resolved with reduced charges, conditional dismissal, or diversion programs. Our firm will aggressively pursue every available legal option to minimize or eliminate charges.
