Kansas Drug Crime Defense Attorney
Are you Experienced?
It's not just a question posed by Jimi Hendrix. Have you ever used an illegal drug? Are you being investigated or have you been arrested for possession, distribution or manufacturing of drugs or controlled substances? Whether you are a recreational user or wrongly accused you need knowledgeable counsel.
Possession or use of small amounts of drugs or paraphernalia, or only being around those who possess, use, or distribute drugs, can lead to criminal accusations where penalties can be harsh. This "experience" of facing drug charges with severe penalities requires hiring an attorney who knows the law, your rights and how to effectively defend individuals accused of drug crimes.
At the Kerns Law Office, based in Lawrence, Kansas, we tenaciously defend our clients in all cases alleging possession, distribution, manufacturing, and trafficking narcotics and illegal substances, including cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine. We also represent those charged with tax stamp violations which often accompany drug possession and distribution charges.
Search and Seizure Issues Regarding Drug Law
If your rights were violated in the search and seizure of your home or personal property, we will explore the necessary motions to dismiss your case or suppress the evidence against you. We know what arresting officers can and cannot do in collecting evidence against defendants, and we know how to scrutinize rushed search warrants and flawed police procedures. We also are experienced at defending these specialized cases and effectively presenting them to juries when necessary.
As an active member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) and the Kansas Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (KACDL), attorney John W. Kerns keeps up with current drug law trends and tactics for helping clients overcome their drug charges. Attorney Kerns brings extensive trial experience to each drug law case.
