Whether you are a health professional caught in allegations of illicit acquisition of narcotics on the job or simply a person with a drug addiction problem, you should discuss your situation with an experienced lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.

A satisfactory outcome after an arrest for a drug crime can come in many different forms but can involve one of the following:
- If the evidence was obtained by way of illegal search and seizure, we may request hearings to have the evidence suppressed as inadmissible.
