Drug Charges

Drug Charge Defense Lawyer

Helping People in Mississippi and Tennessee

After a drug arrest, you have no time to lose. You need a skilled, experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Without a lawyer defending your rights, the police may squeeze a confession out of you and throw you in jail for years.

Rob Laher, the main criminal defense lawyer of the Laher Law Firm, knows how to fight drug arrests. He immerses himself in his clients' cases to uncover all relevant facts and circumstances to identify constitutional issues, to identify other possible defenses, and to develop a complete story the jury will need to fully understand the facts and circumstances underlying the drug charges. He has compiled a record of acquittals in serious criminal cases, and he is ready to help anyone in Northeast Mississippi and Southwestern Tennessee. Contact us to set up a free initial consultation with Rob.

At the Laher Law Firm, we help people with all kinds of drug charges, including drug possession, trafficking, sales, intent to sell, cultivation, manufacture, and more. These charges can apply to any number of controlled substances, including:

• Marijuana
• Cocaine
• Heroin
• Methamphetamine (including charges of running a meth lab)
• Morphine
• Opium
• Other narcotic drugs
• Prescription drug abuse

In drug cases, there is almost always an explanation for what happened. Very few people arrested for drugs are hard-core dealers. Maybe the accused was just riding with a friend who had drugs.

• Where were the drugs found? Were the drugs in a car, in a closed box, in a hidden or concealed location? In whose possession were the drugs found? What were the physical circumstances surrounding the discovery?
• Was there a search conducted by law enforcement? Was the search legal? Was there are search warrant? Was the search warrant legal?

Personal Attention is Key

In our view, a lawyer simply cannot find out the truth if he sees his client for the first time at the trial. Rob Laher believes that there is no such thing as spending too much time with clients. He takes the time to get to know every client well, developing a strong bond and preparing extensively for every case.

The success of his approach speaks for itself. In one case, United States v. Michael Woody, Rob got a "not guilty" verdict for a Tennessee man charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine and marijuana, aggravated assault, robbery and firearms charges. He got an acquittal on all counts, despite three codefendants testifying against his client. (See more past cases.)
