Waco, Texas Drug Crimes Attorneys

Prosecutors and police are particularly zealous when it comes to drug crimes. As a result, search warrants, interrogations, car stops, and narcotics investigations aren't always conducted within the limits of the Constitution. As former prosecutors, the attorneys at Frederick & Coley are familiar with how police and prosecutors approach drug cases. As drug crimes lawyers, we meticulously review the actions of police officers, informants, and investigators in executing search warrants, passing on information, and collecting evidence. In car stops we look for evidence of "profiling" and questions regarding reasonable suspicion and probable cause. Even in cases where drugs are found on someone's property, unless proper procedures were followed and the Constitution respected, the evidence must be excluded at trial.

No matter what the evidence indicates, you aren't guilty until a jury says you are. We can help those accused of drug crimes fight the charges against them. To schedule a free, confidential consultation, contact the law office of Frederick & Coley today.

What to do if You're Under Investigation

The war on drugs has essentially resulted in a war on Constitutional rights. Legislative initiatives have provided law enforcement with far-reaching investigative powers -- especially after the passage of the Patriot Act. If you are under investigation for drug crimes, your financial, banking, credit card, even tax information will most likely be reviewed by law enforcement. Additionally, your internet activity could be monitored, especially email and online transactions.

In order to protect your rights, it's essential that you contact an experienced drug crimes lawyer during an investigation against you. Not only will we use the law to stop investigative over-reach, we will take immediate action against the police when harassment and intimidation occurs.

Protecting Your Property -- Drug Charges and RICO

Under the RICO statute, law enforcement can seize any property or assets allegedly related to illegal narcotics activity. Consequently, even before a guilty verdict is determined, your home, car, bank account, or other assets could be seized, making it more difficult for you to pay bills and meet daily expenses. At Frederick & Coley, we take whatever legal action is necessary to challenge property seizures under the terms of the RICO statute and stop authorities from undermining your financial security.

Defending Our Clients' Rights

Drug cases almost always involve searches and seizures, reasonable suspicion, and probable cause. Too often, police use flimsy reasons and excuses to support their entering a home after claiming to have probable cause. As drug crimes attorneys, we interview eyewitnesses, comparing police reports and police statements in order to find inconsistencies that often hide questionable police conduct. As experienced former prosecutors, we know how to identify stories that don't make sense or add up -- especially when evidence and probable cause are involved.
