Drug Charge Defense Lawyers

Drug charges are treated very seriously in Canada and are governed by the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Many drug related offences carry lengthy mandatory jail sentences. Regardless of the gravity of the drug offence, a conviction will have a significant impact on your life and liberty.  

At Motevalli Law Group we have successfully defended individuals charged with:

• Possession of an illegal substance;
• Importing an illegal substance;
• Trafficking an illegal substance;
• Manufacturing an illegal substance; and
• Proceeds of Crime.

When it comes to defending drug charges the legality of the police search which resulted in the discovery of the drugs is absolutely crucial. The right to be secure against unreasonable search and seizure is found in section 8 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and is a fundamental component of our legal system.

In addition to challenging the legality of the search, our criminal defence counsel will explore other possible defences, including:

• Challenging the treatment and handling of the physical evidence;
• Challenging , the properties of the substance;
• Disputing ownership, knowledge, possession or control of the substance; and
• Disputing the necessary intent to commit the alleged crime.

Our criminal lawyers will raise every realistic defence and develop a strategy for your specific case. A criminal charge can have crippling effects, so choose a law firm that has a proven track record of success.
