Norristown Drug Possession Attorney

The "war on drugs" has turned into a war on peoples' Constitutional rights. Police, prosecutors, and especially federal agents, now have more investigative reach than ever before. Authorities can now conduct wiretaps, electronic surveillance, review a suspect's computer activity, and monitor banking activity if a court is convinced enough evidence exists to warrant doing so. At the Law Office of Basil D. Beck, I aggressively defend my client's rights by putting the police and investigators on the defensive. I challenge the validity of search warrants, how they're presented to the court to justify their issuance, "knock and talk" enterings of houses and apartments, car stops, and personal searches on the street.

I refuse to let my clients' Constitutional rights be sacrificed on the altar of political expediency. Whether you're being investigated on drug charges or have already been arrested, contact drug possession lawyer Basil D. Beck.

Protecting Your Rights and Property

Under the federal RICO statute, authorities can seize any property or assets they believe are the fruits of illegal narcotics activity on the part of the accused. As your lawyer, I immediately challenge attempts on the part of authorities to seize your home, assets, or other property.

Additionally, if you are served with a search warrant, I will drive and meet you at your home or apartment to ensure police do not overstep the limits of a search warrant. In cases involving car stops and probable cause, I carefully review whether or not police had reasonable suspicion to pull you over in the first place. In highway stops, I identify profiling techniques and improper police procedure in conducting car searches.

Considering Your Options -- When a Plea Bargain is Necessary

In cases where guilt is not in question, how you negotiate a plea bargain is crucial. While each case is different, one's criminal record, age, situation in the community, and other factors can influence prosecutors to reduce the charges or sentence against you. As a criminal defense lawyer with years of experience working in and around the criminal courts system, I understand how to work with prosecutors in order to reduce my clients' sentence or the severity of charges against them.

I will fight for your rights and what is in your best interest. To schedule a free consultation and discuss your case in complete confidentiality, contact the Law Offices of Basil D. Beck today.
