Drug Charges

High-level state and federal drug charges carry mandatory minimum sentences, decades in federal prison, and consequences that can permanently affect your life. Whether the allegations involve operating a drug trafficking organization, conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, possession with intent to distribute, or a complex DUI matter, these cases require defense counsel with significant trial experience and a deep understanding of how the DEA, FBI, and state prosecutors build their cases.

Our Experience With Serious Drug Charges

Fortune Trial Attorneys defends clients facing major drug trafficking allegations, distribution offenses, and complex DUI charges. As a federal prosecutor, Daniel Fortune successfully tried drug trafficking cases before juries, gaining firsthand knowledge of investigative techniques, evidentiary strategies, and the challenges prosecutors face in court. He has also represented clients in matters involving guns and drugs, giving him insight into the severe sentencing enhancements and related charges that often accompany drug offenses.

Drug investigations frequently rely on confidential informants, wiretaps, controlled buys, search warrants, and conspiracy theories involving multiple defendants. The government may present surveillance, phone records, financial transactions, and cooperating witness testimony. These cases demand a detailed and aggressive defense. Our firm challenges search and seizure violations, questions the credibility of informants, evaluates investigative procedures, and seeks to suppress evidence obtained unlawfully.

How We Defend Drug Cases and Complex DUI Matters

Our firm understands the tactics used in drug investigations and the weaknesses that can undermine the prosecution’s case. We scrutinize the validity of warrants, analyze investigative timelines, and review forensic evidence tied to controlled substances. When firearms allegations appear alongside drug charges, we assess potential enhancements and opportunities to challenge them.

Complex DUI cases also require experienced trial counsel. Matters involving serious injury, prior offenses, or aggravating factors demand a thorough review of field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, blood analysis, and law enforcement conduct. Our firm challenges flawed testing, improper procedures, and other issues that may affect the reliability of the charges.
