Intense investigation is a critical component of how the attorneys at Ross & Pines, LLC handle drug charges. We dig deep to ensure that we gather all available facts that will assist us in representing you in your drug case. As former prosecutors, we are thorough and we know what to look for. We have seen the way that many jurisdictions "fight the war on drugs" on the highways of the State of Georgia. Police officers usually pull people over for a reason completely unrelated to drug charges; typically these police officers will say that they observed a minor traffic violation when, in fact, there was no traffic violation; then they find a reason to conduct a search or try to trick you into giving them consent to search your car. Sometimes the police officer will say that he smelled drugs in the car to justify the search, sometimes the officers will unlawfully detain people on the side of the highway, and sometimes the officer will say that they were given consent to search the car. More often than not, the searches conducted by the police officer are illegal and in violation of the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits illegal searches and seizures. Even if you consented to a search of you car or person, the search may be in violation of your constitutional rights. At Ross & Pines, LLC we have been extremely successful in challenging unlawful searches and seizures throughout the State of Georgia, in both State and Federal Courts, resulting in the exclusion of evidence and the dismissal of cases. We have fought many cases up to the Supreme Court of Georgia and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. We are successful because we take the time to thoroughly investigate each case and gather the evidence that we need to convince a judge that an illegal search and seizure was conducted.

Immigration, Deportation, and Drug Crimes

Many criminal defense attorneys are not aware of what is a deportable offense when they defend someone who is not a citizen of the United States. As a result, those lawyers may tell a non-citizen to plead guilty to a lesser charge in order to avoid jail time, a heavy fine, or a conviction on a more serious charge. Unfortunately, even though a more serious drug charge may be reduced to a lesser offence, it may be a deportable offense in the eyes of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). At Ross & Pines, our drug crimes defense attorneys are also experienced in immigration matters. We can evaluate the charges against you and determine whether or not your drug crime is a deportable offense and what your options are in avoiding removal.
