Drug Crimes

The lawyers at Raipher, P.C. provide courtroom defense for people charged with serious felony drug charges throughout the region and beyond.

Examples of our drug crime cases
We mount a vigorous defense for clients facing state and federal charges of:

• Drug trafficking
• Distribution of controlled substances
• Drug manufacturing
• Drug smuggling
• Drug possession
• Conspiracy to violate drug laws
• Racketeering
• RICO
• Prescription drug abuse of steroids, Xanax, Percocet, Oxycontin and others
  We also represent clients’ interests in related forfeiture proceedings

Our lawyers, many of whom are former state or federal prosecutors, have years of experience in complex, high profile criminal
cases throughout the United States and abroad. We work with professional investigators and expert witnesses to prepare a
thorough defense. In the process we examine both the evidence in the case and any potential constitutional violations that
occurred leading up to the arrest, such as the illegal search and seizure of evidence. We will work to suppress any evidence
found as the result of an illegal search or seizure.

The firm also works with specialists in federal sentencing guidelines to gain a clear understanding of the criminal charges
and their possible consequences. We are known for preparing witnesses carefully before their appearance in front of a grand
jury.

We provide vigorous representation that protects the rights and interests of our clients throughout the criminal justice
process. We are with you at all stages, including:

• Initial investigation
• Extradition
• Arrest
• Grand jury indictment
• Charging
• Bail hearing
• Arraignment
• Plea negotiations
• Trial
• Verdict
• Pre-sentencing investigation and reports
• Post-conviction appeals, writs and motions
• Probation
• Jail or prison
• Parole

When you have a lot to lose, get the best defense possible
Our attorneys defend medical professionals and students, lawyers and law school students and business professionals, law
enforcement professionals, etc. against any type of drug charge. When a conviction for even a minor possession charge, such as
possession of marijuana, cocaine or speed, can mean loss of licensure, removal from school and the end of a promising career,
you need a skilled defense.

We defend all clients vigorously against drug crime charges. We explore every option, investigate the prosecution’s case to
identify weaknesses and ensure that you receive the defense you need to get results.
