Drugs

Some of the most common drug charges cases that Roxana has extensive experience with are:

• Trafficking
• Production
• Importing and exporting
• Possession

Roxana is here to give you options. She has experience drafting Applications to exclude the drugs as evidence as well as developing a defence theory most appropriate to the circumstances of your case. Call today for a free consultation.

Typical scenarios:

• You are in a car either as a driver or a passenger and the police smells or sees weed and/or other drugs in the car.
• The police intercepts a package with drugs received from abroad and arrests you once it is received at your residence.
• You are stopped at customs and drugs are found in your possession.
• You are arrested for a different offence and the police finds drugs.
• You are in a house where drugs are found.
• The police investigates you on the street and subsequently performs a search to find drugs.

All of the above scenarios (and more) can lead to drugs charges but all of them can be assessed by a criminal lawyer to determine if:

• There is sufficient evidence.
• The Crown must prove continuity in handling the drugs.
• The Crown must provide documents prior to the trial related to the classification of the substance (i.e. was it a “controlled substance”) and notices for experts
• The Charter breach can exclude the potent evidence in your case. Roxana analyzes the Information to Obtain, Warrant, behaviour of the police where there is a Warrant, conduct and grounds of the police where the search is warrantless.
• You are credible as a witness and can the Crown prove the requisite intent
• Negotiations with Crown can lead to early resolution
• And more.
