Successful Defense Strategies
Samuel Bookhardt III will review all of the facts in your case. In cases involving drug possession, there may be one or more possible defense strategies based on the Fourth Amendment and search and seizure issues. For example: Did the police have probable cause to stop your car? Did the search warrant have the correct information? These types of issues may provide the means to obtain a dismissal or exclusion of evidence. Mr. Bookhardt will use all possible procedural and evidentiary means to undermine the state's case and strengthen your defense.
The goal of Vance, Lotane & Bookhardt, P.A., will be to obtain the best outcome possible, through a dismissal, negotiated plea or victory at trial.
Alternatives to Conviction and Jail
First-time offenders may be eligible for a pre-trial diversion program that enables them to avoid conviction and jail time. For those with a chemical dependency problem, a drug court solution may minimize potential penalties while obtaining treatment for their underlying dependency problem. However, not everyone is eligible for these programs.
Samuel Bookhardt III understands the rules for these programs and can negotiate with prosecutors to obtain these outcomes for his clients. If you want to obtain this type of solution, and you qualify, Mr. Bookhardt will work to get you into the program.
