Common

Questions

01

How can a drug crimes lawyer challenge evidence against me?

 

We will carefully review the evidence in your case, ensuring that it was lawfully obtained and that your constitutional rights were not violated during the search and seizure process. We will scrutinize the chain of custody, challenge the reliability of any witnesses or informants, and identify any weaknesses or inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case. Our goal is to create doubt and raise reasonable doubt in the minds of the judge or jury.

02

What are potential penalties for drug offenses in Columbus?

 

The penalties for drug offenses in Ohio vary depending on several factors, including the type and quantity of drugs involved, the defendant’s criminal history, and the specific circumstances of the case. They can range from fines and probation to imprisonment. An experienced drug lawyer will assess your situation and provide you with a clear understanding of the potential consequences you may face.

03

If I plan to plead guilty to a drug charge, do I still need a lawyer?

 

Even if you plan on pleading guilty to drug charges, getting the advice of an attorney is paramount. Obtaining experienced counsel offers you the best chance at minimizing your sentence. Criminal defense attorneys equalize the balance of power between the defendant and the prosecution by ensuring that your constitutional rights are protected.

04

Can I defend myself against drug charges?

 

While it is your constitutional right to represent yourself in court, defending yourself against drug charges without legal expertise can be highly challenging. Drug laws are complex, and the prosecution will have experienced attorneys working to secure a conviction. Having a skilled drug lawyer by your side can significantly improve your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome.

05

Will my drug charge case go to trial?

 

Every case is unique, and whether your case goes to trial will depend on various factors. As your drug lawyer, Nathan Akamine is a skilled negotiator and will work diligently to explore all possible avenues for a favorable resolution, including plea bargains or alternative sentencing options. However, if taking your case to trial is in your best interest, we will be prepared to vigorously defend your rights in the courtroom.
