Were Your Fourth Amendment Rights Violated?

Most strong drug charge defenses begin with looking at the legality of the search. If the search was not conducted in a way that respected your Fourth Amendment right to be free from illegal search and seizure, any evidence found during that search may be inadmissible. A prosecutor cannot proceed on a drug charge without the drug evidence itself.

As a RI Drug Defense Lawyer, I defend people against state and federal drug-related charges such as:

Drug possession
Drug trafficking
Manufacturing
Prescription forgery

I take on cases related to drugs such as:

Marijuana
Cocaine/crack
Methamphetamine (crystal meth)
Prescription drugs (Vicodin, Xanax, Percocet, etc.)

Why Get Help from a RI drug defense lawyer after a Drug Crime Arrest?

We can provide a wide range of services if you have been charged with a drug-related offense. When you work with Attorney Terence Livingston, we can:

Seek your release from custody while your case is pending.
Ensure that you understand all legal, financial, and personal implications of the charges against you.
Discuss your possible defenses and legal strategies.
Review all options available to you, from entering a plea (in exchange for probation or a reduced sentence) to taking your case to trial.

We will thoroughly review all of the evidence against you, which will allow us to identify and assess potential problems with the prosecution’s case. For instance, depending on the facts and circumstances in your case, we may pursue defenses such as:

The police obtained the evidence in a search or seizure that violated your constitutional rights.
The police failed to advise you of your Miranda rights when they questioned you while you were in custody, including your right to remain silent and your right to speak with a RI drug defense lawyer.
The police and prosecution relied on information from an unreliable informant.
The forensic chemist failed to follow proper testing procedure.
You did not knowingly possess the controlled substance.
