Handling Illegal and Prescription Drug Charges

Our firm represents clients accused of a variety of drug offense charges — including drug possession, distribution and trafficking as well as prescription fraud — involving both illegal and prescription drugs such as:

• Marijuana (pot)
• Cocaine
• Crack
• Heroin
• Methamphetamine (meth)
• Speed
• Ecstasy
• LSD (acid)
• Xanax®
• Oxycodone (OxyContin®, Percocet®, Percodan®)
• Viagra®
• Painkillers
• Antidepressants

Over the years, complex guidelines have been adopted for sentencing people convicted of drug offenses. Sentences can vary a great deal depending on the exact charges and the drugs involved.

Helping You Retrieve Seized Property

One major legal issue in drug cases is that often, the police will seize money and/or property that they believe is related to the alleged crime. They may even seize the property of someone who is not accused of a crime but who was in the car with someone who has been charged with a drug offense.

Ben Kelsen has experience retrieving seized money and property. We can help you determine if and when you can get your property back.

Pursuing the Strategy That Is Best for You

Attorney Ben Kelsen takes protecting your rights seriously and will fully explore every option, including challenging the legality of the prosecution's evidence, working out a plea bargain, and telling your side of the story to a jury.
