If you’re accused of any type of drug offense, it’s probably in your best interest to talk to a Milwaukee controlled substance lawyer as soon as possible.
Why Should You Talk to a Milwaukee Controlled Substance Lawyer?
For most people, it makes sense to call an attorney as soon as they’re accused of this type of crime—and that’s because the consequences can be so severe. We’re talking about felony offenses, which often result in prison time, hefty fines, and social consequences like the loss of your job, your home, and even your family.
What Will Your Attorney Ask You?
Your lawyer’s job is to prevent the prosecution from proving you guilty. (Remember, when you’re accused of a crime in the U.S., it’s not your job to prove that you’re innocent; the person or entity accusing you has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you’re guilty. If the jury doubts that you’re guilty, they’re not supposed to convict you of the crime.)
That means your controlled substance lawyer is going to ask you several questions, including what happened during the incident. He or she will also find out what kind of evidence the prosecution has against you, find out why the prosecution believes they have evidence, and determine whether you plan to admit guilt or say that you’re innocent.
