Top Drug Defense Attorney in Racine

Choose an aggressive defense attorney

At Richards & Associates, S.C., we specialize in drug defense as one of our primary criminal law practices. Drug charges are among the most serious crimes in Wisconsin, second only to homicide and sexual assault.

Drug offenses fall into three main categories: possession of a controlled substance, delivery (or sale) of a controlled substance, and manufacture (or growth) of a controlled substance. Penalties for committing a drug offense can vary greatly, depending on factors such as the type of controlled substance, the amount seized by the police, the defendant’s intent, and their prior criminal history.

A drug conviction can have long-term negative effects on a person’s future, including loss of employment and education opportunities, a permanent felony record, and increased severity of future drug charges.

At Richards & Associates, we can help you challenge your drug charge and aggressively protect your rights and future. We can challenge the legality of traffic stops, statements made after arrest, search warrants, and the credibility of government informants. We can also review and challenge physical evidence and State Crime Laboratory reports, and work to obtain a rehabilitative sentence instead of a punitive one. With years of jury trial experience in Wisconsin State and Federal drug cases, we have the knowledge and experience necessary to provide a strong defense.
