Protecting Your Rights After a Drug Arrest

The United States Constitution grants each person civic rights. However, the police do not always honor the rights of suspects. You may not have been adequately read your Miranda rights. Evidence may have been illegally confiscated. There may not have been adequate probable cause for a search warrant. Evidence may have been collected outside of the search warrant's clearance. You may have been coerced into a confession. Philip Nathe aggressively fights to protect your rights. However, if your rights have been violated, he may be capable of getting the case dismissed entirely. At a minimum, if evidence was collected in violation of your rights, he will petition to have that evidence and any evidence derived from illegally confiscated evidence suppressed from the record.

Put Our Experience to Work in Your Drug Possession Case

Mr. Nathe has a thorough understanding of how judges and prosecutors deal with drug possession charges — whether they involve simple possession or possession of more significant quantities. He uses this experience to develop a defense strategy tailored to the case. In some drug possession cases, he may be capable of negotiating alternatives, such as drug school or Section 10 probation, in order to avoid a permanent drug conviction.
