Is fighting the criminal charge the best option or should you negotiate a plea? Our goal is always to minimize your exposure in a drug possession case. Attorney Chris J. Berglund is a former prosecutor, so she understands your options and she can explain the risks and rewards of taking your case to trial versus making a plea agreement.
When working with Berglund Law, you should know that we are never afraid to go to trial and we know what it takes to win. We work hard to examine every aspect of your case—from the way the police performed their duties, to the way the evidence was collected and everything in between—in order to force the prosecutor to prove every element of the criminal charge.
For example, we know that the State has to prove a few things to get a conviction for drug possession:
- That you knew you were in possession of the drugs
- That you knew what the drugs were
This is true regardless of whether the drug was cocaine, methamphetamine (meth), marijuana, heroin or prescription pills.
Often the police will charge people with "constructive possession"—possession that occurs even if the drugs were just in reach, like in the center console of a vehicle. As someone charged with a crime like this, you need an attorney who will protect you from unreasonable or overzealous prosecutors.
