Experienced Defense for Drug Crimes in Alabama

Drug crimes are among the most commonly prosecuted offenses in Alabama. From misdemeanors to felonies, the penalties for drug offenses can range from minimal fines to long-term prison sentences. The type of drug, quantity, and location of the alleged crime all play a crucial role in determining the charges, penalties, and jurisdiction of the case.

At Dixon Law, we have extensive experience handling drug cases, including possession, distribution, and trafficking offenses. Whether it's a misdemeanor charge for possession of marijuana or a felony charge for drug trafficking, we understand the potential impact these charges can have on your life. Even a misdemeanor drug conviction can affect your employment opportunities, government licenses, and security clearances—which is why it's critical to hire an experienced lawyer to protect your future.

Types of Drug Charges We Defend

Dixon Law represents clients charged with all types of drug crimes in Alabama, including:

• Drug Possession

• Possession with Intent to Sell

• Drug Distribution

• Drug Trafficking

• Drug Manufacturing

Each of these offenses can have severe consequences. Felony charges, such as unlawful possession of a controlled substance or drug distribution, often begin in district court and can lead to lengthy prison sentences and a permanent criminal record. These cases may also involve preliminary hearings and a grand jury indictment, which require skilled legal representation to navigate effectively.

Defending Against Drug Charges: Key Legal Issues

At Dixon Law, we know how important it is to scrutinize every aspect of a drug case. One of the most critical components of drug crime defense is understanding procedural errors that can lead to a case being dismissed.

• Unlawful Searches and Seizures: Under the Fourth Amendment, police are prohibited from conducting unlawful searches or seizures. If evidence in your case was obtained from an unlawful search, it may be inadmissible under the “fruit of the poisonous tree” doctrine. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as searches with consent, pat-downs, or searches incident to arrest. A knowledgeable attorney can identify these issues and challenge unlawful actions by law enforcement.

• Civil Forfeiture: In some cases, the government may attempt to seize your assets (such as cars, cash, real estate, or jewelry) in a civil forfeiture proceeding. This process allows the state to claim that assets were obtained through criminal activity. While recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings have limited civil asset forfeiture powers, it remains an important tool the government uses to unfairly penalize defendants. Dixon Law is committed to defending clients against unjust asset seizures and ensuring that your property rights are upheld.
