Bangor, Maine criminal defense lawyer aggressively representing clients against felony and misdemeanor drug charges in State and Federal courts throughout Maine.
DRUG CRIMES
It won't happen to you. Then it does. And it goes like this:
Drug use makes people careless. They get caught. All the time.
Once arrested, drug users face difficult decisions: abandon their family, jobs and home for jail time or cooperate.
Once arrested, they are under surveillance and unable to buy drugs. Any resistance to cooperation melts away.
The cooperating individual becomes a faceless number, like "CI 17." You become the subject of a "controlled buy": recorded conversation, photographed, videotaped, recorded serial numbers on cash -- all legal.
The police are at your door, maybe months later. They call it a "knock and talk." It is friendly, but to a purpose. They want you to cooperate.
You now face criminal charges. You may be arrested or, more likely, given time to think it over.
You don't know who cooperated against you. You may never know. You will never get satisfaction or revenge (which would be a separate crime in most contexts).
You don't know what to do, except you have taken a remarkably important first step. You are looking at this page and thinking about a lawyer.

Who to trust? Legal counsel.
Although these situations are complex and clear solutions often impossible, only legal counsel will have your best interest at heart.
Only legal counsel can effectively guide you with expertise and experience through the difficult decisions that must be made from the moment of police contact.
Only legal counsel can stand up to the police when necessary, challenge the police and prosecutors when appropriate, and ease the client through what, nevertheless, will be a very unsettling experience.
Delay in hiring legal counsel may do irreparable harm to your defense. Call immediately.
