Drug Crimes Defense

Drug charges may include a wide range of offenses related to controlled substances. Salvado Law Offices can help defend against charges such as:

• Possession: The specific charges that may apply for possession of controlled substances can vary in severity depending on the types and amounts of drugs involved. Our attorneys can help address concerns about the legality of searches by police officers, and we can also determine whether probation or drug treatment may be available to help a person avoid a conviction.
• Distribution: A person may face increased charges if an offense involves the intent to sell or distribute controlled substances. Defense strategies may include challenging the evidence of intent, the credibility of informants, and procedural errors in an investigation.
• Manufacturing: The production of controlled substances or the packaging of drugs for distribution can result in serious charges. Our lawyers can investigate the specific details of the alleged manufacturing activities, the presence of lab equipment or other paraphernalia, and potential violations of search and seizure laws.
• Trafficking: People who are accused of distributing controlled substances in multiple states or transporting drugs across international borders may face federal charges. The defense team at Salvado Law Offices works to determine the best defense strategies against these charges, including addressing entrapment or other improper actions by law enforcement.

Sex Crimes Defense

Offenses of a sexual nature may not only have serious legal consequences, but these accusations can also affect a person's reputation, career, and personal relationships. Our lawyers can help defend against accusations of:

• Sexual assault: Defending against charges of rape or other related offenses requires a meticulous examination of the evidence, including forensic reports, witness statements, and potential alibis. The attorneys at Salvado Law Offices work tirelessly to build a strong defense in these cases while protecting our clients' rights and reputations.
• Child pornography offenses: Possession, distribution, or production of pornographic images or videos featuring minors are very serious offenses. These charges often involve digital evidence and other complex legal issues. Salvado Law Offices can help defend against these charges by questioning the knowledge and intent of an alleged offender.
• Internet sex crimes: Certain types of offenses may involve the use of online communications or material shared on websites or social media. Our lawyers have a thorough understanding of cyber laws, digital forensics, and other issues that may affect these cases, and we can help our clients develop effective defense strategies.

Violent Crimes Defense

Offenses involving violence, harm to others, or threats can lead to long prison sentences and other consequences for those who are convicted. Our attorneys can help defend against charges such as:

• Murder/manslaughter: Defending against homicide charges requires a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding a person's death. Our lawyers can review forensic evidence, witness testimonies, and factors that may have affected the defendant's state of mind as we determine the best strategies for defense.
• Assault and battery: Charges involving the infliction of harm, threats to injure someone, or other related offenses may stem from a variety of situations. Our attorneys can evaluate the context of an incident, the severity of injuries that occurred, prior history between the parties involved, and claims of self-defense to determine how to address these charges.
• Domestic violence: Accusations that a person has intentionally harmed their family members can disrupt relationships and affect a person's reputation. Salvado Law Offices approaches these cases with sensitivity, examining relationship dynamics and possible motives for false accusations as we determine how to protect our clients from consequences that may affect their families.
• Weapons charges: Violent crime charges may involve the alleged use of firearms or other weapons. Our lawyers work to protect our clients' rights by addressing the legality of weapon possession, the ways weapons were allegedly used, and the constitutionality of the actions taken by law enforcement officials.

DUI Defense

A person who is arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) may face lasting repercussions that can affect their driving record, their freedom, and their livelihood. Salvado Law Offices can defend against multiple types of DUI-related charges, including:

• First-time DUI: Even if a person has never been arrested for drunk driving in the past, they may still face serious penalties if they are charged with DUI. The defense team at Salvado Law Offices can help address the validity of traffic stops, the administration of field sobriety tests, and the accuracy of breath or blood tests to construct a robust defense in these situations.
• Multiple DUI: Repeat offenses involving intoxicated driving carry harsher penalties, including longer license suspensions, higher fines, and mandatory jail time. Salvado Law Offices works to help our clients mitigate the consequences of DUI charges by identifying procedural errors, questioning the reliability of evidence, and negotiating alternative sentencing options when possible.
