Scottsdale Drug Offense Lawyer

Providing Statewide Criminal Defense Representation

Drug crimes are among the most common and aggressively prosecuted offenses in Arizona. State and federal prosecutors dedicate extensive resources to these cases, and the penalties can be life-altering. 

A conviction for possession, distribution, manufacturing, or prescription-related drug crimes may result in lengthy prison terms, steep fines, and a permanent criminal record. If you are under investigation or have been charged, your future and freedom are at risk, making experienced legal representation critical.

Why Our Legal Representation  Matters in Drug Charges

Drug cases often hinge on complex legal issues such as search and seizure, police procedure, and evidentiary challenges. You may face consequences far beyond jail or prison without a vigorous defense, including loss of professional licenses, immigration issues, and damage to your reputation.

Attorney Paul Ramos has extensive knowledge of Arizona law, federal drug statutes, and the procedural rules governing the use of evidence at trial. He is skilled at identifying constitutional violations, challenging the admissibility of evidence, and developing defense strategies that protect his clients’ rights.

Common Drug Charges We Handle

Drug offenses in Arizona fall under several statutes and cover a wide range of conduct, from simple possession to federal trafficking cases. 

Common charges we handle include:

Possession - Charges depend on whether the substance is classified as a dangerous drug (ARS § 13-3407), a narcotic (ARS § 13-3408), or marijuana (ARS § 13-3405).

Distribution or trafficking - Selling or distributing illegal drugs, or conspiring to do so, may involve state or federal prosecution (ARS § 13-3407, ARS § 13-3408).

Manufacturing - Cultivating marijuana, producing methamphetamines or crack cocaine, or possessing materials to manufacture illegal substances (ARS § 13-3407, ARS § 13-3408).

Prescription fraud - Using forged or altered prescriptions or attempting to fill legitimate prescriptions at multiple pharmacies (ARS § 13-3406).

Each of these charges carries severe potential penalties, which can increase dramatically if aggravating factors, such as proximity to schools or prior convictions, are involved.
