Many drug charges are initiated by police officers working undercover. These officers involve themselves in the purchase or sale of drugs and after the deal is made, additional police are called in. Often, people accused of dealing do not even know that an undercover officer was involved in the set up until it is too late.
At my Salt Lake City law firm, I represent people throughout the metro area and the state of Utah in State and Federal Courts. My clients are people facing serious drug charges, including possession with intent to distribute. Many of them were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Many more were people with drug habits or in other circumstances that led them to obtain large quantities of drugs. Because of the way the drugs were packaged — in small quantities instead of one large one — they were charged with possession with intent to distribute.
I also represent people who were allegedly involved in gang activity. When Utah police believe gangs may be involved, they have the matter handled by a special prosecutor. I am well equipped to handle the matter.
Intent to Distribute Lawyer in Salt Lake City
Utah drug crime laws are always changing. I keep up to date on the latest changes in Utah law by reading the most current information given to criminal defense attorneys through the state bar association. I am involved in the legal community and know the judges and the police officers. This knowledge helps me understand the outcomes others have experienced in similar situations. It helps me to develop effective criminal defense strategies that achieve the best possible results.
Possession with intent to sell or deliver carries especially serious consequences. People facing these charges are often accused of the crime because of the way the drugs were packaged — regardless of whether or not they were actually intending to sell drugs.
