Every year the police arrest many people for drugs at Immigration Checkpoints, Border Patrol Checkpoints and on Arizona Highways such as I-8 (Interstate 8), I-40 (Interstate 40), I-17 (Interstate 17) and I-10 (Interstate 10) and at the immigration checkpoint outside of Wellton, Arizona. If you have been arrested for drugs at one of these locations, you will need an experienced and aggressive Attorney to defend you.
At Owens & Perkins, first, we investigate every aspect of your case. From interviewing eyewitnesses and other potential witnesses to reviewing all of the physical evidence. Our Attorneys will evaluate the strength of the case against you and develop any and all potential defenses. These cases often involve complex issues of search and seizure where the police unconstitutionally obtain evidence that they should be prohibited from using against you. In these situations we will aggressively fight to show that the search and seizure violated your 4th Amendment right and attempt to have the evidence thrown out due to the illegal search and seizure.
Next, we will discuss the outcome of the investigation with you, and together decide on the best course of strategy. Sometimes, when the State has a strong case, that strategy will be to negotiate for the best possible deal with the Prosecutor. This will include gathering and presenting mitigating evidence to the Prosecutor and, when possible, seeking to achieve a deal that avoids or reduces incarceration or even avoids a felony conviction. This evidence includes not only evidence showing any weaknesses in their case, but also evidence of your good character that shows why you should not be treated like a common criminal.
If, on the other hand, you are innocent or there are solid defenses to the charges, we may elect to proceed to trial. If that is the path chosen, our experienced trial Attorneys will fight for you. This includes filing any Pre-Trial Motions to limit the evidence that may be admissible against you, as well as preparing the case for trial to present to a jury or judge in a light most favorable to you.
