Protecting The Rights Of People Facing Drug Charges

 

The consequences for a conviction on a drug crime depend on a range of factors, including the type of crime, the type of drug and the amount of the drug recovered at the crime scene. The more dangerous and addictive the drug, the more serious the consequences. If you are facing charges of possession, sale or distribution, trafficking or other drug offenses, the attorneys at the Law Offices of Alan J. Schwartz, P.C. will fight zealously to defend your rights, reduce charges, minimize penalties, and when possible, get charges dropped.

​

Defending Sex Offenses

 

Even the mere accusation of a sex crime can affect your reputation, limiting job prospects and other opportunities for many years. A conviction often results in the defendant being added to the sex offender registry. People listed in the registry are restricted from living in certain locations, banned from some types of employment, and face restrictions on educational opportunities. Without an experienced, knowledgeable criminal defense firm on your side, the outlook of those accused of sex offenses is not ideal.

​

When the attorneys at the Law Offices of Alan J. Schwartz, P.C. work with clients charged with rape, sexual assault or other sex offenses, they strive to minimize the impact of these charges on the lives of their clients. This works best by getting involved in the case early and negotiating to keep names off of the sex offender registry whenever possible.
