Strategic Drug Offence Defence
Defending Drug Charges
Drug charges in NSW range from drug possession offences dealt with in the Local Court to serious drug supply and commercial supply allegations carrying significant penalties. The prosecution must prove the elements of the particular offence, and the evidence should be carefully examined before decisions are made about how the case will proceed.
NFK Lawyers examines the circumstances of police searches and seizures, police interviews, forensic evidence, telephone and encrypted communications, financial records, surveillance and other material relied upon by the prosecution. In drug supply cases, particular attention is given to the alleged quantity, possession, knowledge and the evidence said to establish participation in the supply of prohibited drugs.
“Serious drug allegations require careful analysis of the evidence.”
