Ottawa Drug Possession Lawyer
As a leading Ottawa drug lawyer, Brett McGarry has successfully defended charges ranging from large-scale police projects to people charged with simple drug possession.
Drug convictions can care severe penalties. New legislation has imposed mandatory minimum jail sentences for many drug offences. People convicted of drug crimes will find their ability to travel abroad restricted, particularly to the United States. It is important to have the right Ottawa drug possession lawyer that understands the laws concerning your conviction.
Drug cases demand the attention of a skilled criminal lawyer to build a solid defence and to ensure your Charter rights are fully protected. The legality of the police actions, search warrants, and wiretap authorizations must be carefully examined. Eyewitnesses, police officers, undercover agents, and expert witnesses must be thoroughly tested by cross-examination.
