Defending You Against Serious Drug Crime Charges In Idaho

Navigating the complexities of drug cases is a challenging endeavor. Often, what starts as a simple drug possession charge can escalate into more significant allegations, such as drug trafficking or intent to distribute, especially when addiction plays a role. The stakes are incredibly high for those accused, as the confluence of crime and addiction can spiral into life-altering consequences.

I am an attorney based in Moscow, Idaho, serving clients in Lewiston and throughout Northern Idaho. My deep roots here bolster my credibility and commitment to this community. At McPherson Law Office, PLLC, I treat every client with respect and make it a point to build a trusting relationship with you. By working together, we can aim to minimize the consequences of your drug charges, utilizing my decades of knowledge and experience in drug crime defense.

Idaho Takes Drug Crimes Seriously

In Idaho, drug crimes can range from simple possession of controlled substances to more severe offenses like drug trafficking and manufacturing. These crimes can involve a variety of substances, from illicit drugs like cocaine to prescription medications that are unlawfully possessed or distributed.

I can defend you against a range of drug crimes, including:

  • Drug possession: Holding controlled substances without a valid prescription or legal justification.
  • Intent to distribute: Possession of large quantities of drugs that suggest distribution is intended.
  • Drug trafficking: Involvement in the cultivation, production, distribution or sale of controlled substances.
  • Prescription drug offenses: Illegal possession or distribution of prescription medication.

The penalties for drug crimes in Idaho are severe and can include substantial jail time, hefty fines and a permanent mark on your criminal record. These consequences can profoundly affect your personal and professional life. Having an experienced criminal defense attorney by your side is crucial to challenge the charges against you and to protect your future.

Do Police Have The Right To Search My Car Or House?

Understanding your rights concerning search and seizure is vital. Idaho law requires that police have a valid warrant or a legally recognized exception to the warrant requirement to search your property. If this protocol is not followed, the evidence obtained may be considered inadmissible. Challenging illegal search and seizure methods is one of the potential defense strategies I use to uphold your rights.

Idaho Marijuana Crimes: Misdemeanors And Felonies

In Idaho, marijuana crimes remain serious offenses. Under Idaho Code Section 37-2705(d)(19), marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, and any involvement in its cultivation, possession, or distribution can lead to misdemeanor, or felony charges, depending on the amount and intended use.
