Why You Should Find an Experienced Defense Lawyer for Drug Charges in Utah

As you might imagine, Utah’s drug laws are conservative and punishment for drug crimes can be harsh. Whether you are charged with something simple like possession, or something more serious like cultivation, distribution, or trafficking, it’s important that you have an experienced lawyer to make sure your rights are protected.

Trust experienced lawyers to defend drug charges

From production to sale, there are plenty of ways to get charged with a drug crime in Utah. If you are arrested for a drug crime, remember it is your right to remain silent until you speak with an experienced lawyer. The expert legal team at Brown, Bradshaw & Moffat has handled cases of all the following and more:

  • Possession
  • Possession of Paraphernalia
  • Possession with Intent to Distribute
  • Cultivation
  • Production of a Controlled Substance
  • Illegal Drug Lab
  • Traffic Stop Drug Bust
  • Prescription Forgery
  • Distribution/Sales/Trafficking
  • Drug Manufacture and Cultivation

Additionally, with many states near Utah legalizing cannabis, Utah Highway Patrol and other road officers try to identify vehicles they think might be transporting marijuana through the state. If you are pulled over and an officer searches your vehicle and finds drugs, whether by legal means or not, they may seize the drugs, your vehicle, or any cash. However, we have experience getting seized property back for both Utah residents and out-of-state travelers.
