Facing Drug Crime Charges? Put An Experienced Defense Lawyer On Your Side.
Drug charges are a serious matter. If convicted, you will face fines and possibly jail time. In addition, the conviction will remain on your record and may prevent you from getting certain jobs or remove access to your children in a custody battle.
At Ward & Spires, LLC, we represent people charged with state and federal drug crimes. Attorney Clay Ward is a former prosecutor who understands how drug cases are handled in Georgia. His experience on both sides of drug cases is very valuable. Please call our office at 706-250-7797 to schedule an appointment with an Augusta drug crime attorney.
Fighting Drug Charges
Whether facing felony or misdemeanor drug charges, we have the experience to help you. We have experience representing people charged with crimes involving marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, GHB, methamphetamines, heroin or prescription drugs such as Percocet, Xanax and Vicodin. Our criminal defense practice covers a complete range of drug crimes, including:
- Possession
- Sales
- Distribution
- Cultivation
- Trafficking
- DUI drugs
There are many ways to counter the prosecution’s case against you. For example, if the police do not handle a drug case correctly from the beginning, the court may throw out the evidence. Police must have probable cause to search a person, car or house. We will examine your arrest as well as the search and seizure. If the police did not have probable cause to arrest you, our lawyers will argue for a dismissal.
Additional issues we can address include the involvement of confidential informants in the buying or selling of drugs that led to your arrest. The number of people charged during your arrest can also be important. In some cases, the police arrest everyone at a drug bust, even though the drugs belonged to just one person.
