The Law Office of James P. Whalen takes a detail-oriented approach to handling your drug offense case. Mr. Whalen has frequently found that suppression of the evidence may secure a dismissal of charges if there was an improper search and seizure. In fact, the search and seizure surrounding your arrest is key when it comes to challenging a drug possession, trafficking, manufacture, intent to sell, prescription fraud cases, or distribution case.

Whether your case involves buying drugs, selling drugs, or possession, Mr. Whalen will fully discuss all of these issues with you in order to determine whether it is best to plead or try your case. Contact the The Law Office of James P. Whalen at 214-368-2560 so Mr. Whalen and his staff can immediately begin helping you resolve your drug charges.

The key to a good defense -

Before your first appointment, prepare a detailed written statement of all the events surrounding your arrest as soon as possible. If there are any witnesses, get their contact information and have them draft a brief statement. They may prove invaluable should you decide to go to trial.

These cases can have many suppression issues, as well as, trial issues. We will discuss all these in order to determine whether it is best to plead or try your case.

My philosophy on drug cases:

If your plea offer involves a “straight probation offer”, that means an automatic conviction and can mean a suspension of your driver’s license as well. If this is your situation, you may have nothing to lose by trying your case.
