Drug charges range from simple misdemeanors to major federal felonies. If you have been accused of a drug crime, you need an aggressive, honest criminal defense attorney to protect your rights.
Whether you are facing charges of cocaine possession, were caught up in a crystal meth bust or were caught with a single joint, drug charges can have very serious consequences and require aggressive criminal defense.
At the Louisiana Law Office of Robert S. Toale, we work tirelessly to find the most positive resolution available for every client. With more than 25 years of experience, attorney Robert Toale has seen it all. Contact us for an initial consultation as soon as you have been charged. We will help you understand your rights and protect them.
The good news about the federal cocaine possession cases is the recent case of Kimbrough v. United States, in which the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a policy of harsher sentences for people (mostly people of color) convicted of crack cocaine possession than those for people (mostly whites) convicted of powder cocaine possession.
As the political landscape changes, authorities have become stricter about arresting people for cocaine possession in the last few years. In 2007, for example, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration seized 279.8 kilograms of cocaine in Louisiana.
A conviction for possession of even a small amount of cocaine still carries a very harsh penalty. Don't get caught up in a political drug war. If you have been arrested for cocaine possession, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer to protect your rights.
Both the federal and Louisiana governments are cracking down on all forms of drugs and drug offenders. The personal consequences of marijuana possession may be much less severe than those of being addicted to methamphetamine, for example, but governments are expending a lot of time, energy and money to crack down on all forms of drug possession.
Other drug offenses such as cultivation, sale and distribution, trafficking, importation and even conspiracy can bring about even more serious penalties. Whether you are charged with meth possession, cultivation of marijuana, or heroin distribution, we are committed to doing everything possible to resolve the situation without you going to jail.
We know what it takes to be successful in state and federal courts, and we will do everything possible to protect your rights. Contact us for an initial consultation about your case and how we can help you.
