The filing of drug charges can be burdensome on the individual accused of the crime, as well as their family. Attorney Curry has an appreciation for the significant penalties that may result from a drug conviction including, but not limited to, mandatory jail time, a significant term of probation or parole, license suspensions, mandatory fines & costs, and even a loss of a job. When faced with these significant consequences, it is important that you get a professionally aggressive, knowledgable and experienced criminal defense attorney involved in your case.

Whether you intend to fight your case at trial or work out a plea to minimize the consequences, your defense begins with the Preliminary Hearing. This hearing presents the first opportunity in the criminal process to negotiate with the prosecution and/or take a hearing with testimony to build a court record for your defense. Following such hearing, we may be able to get a better assessment of whether the police illegally obtained evidence against you and what this means for your case and your life.
