Drug Possession or Drug Trafficking Charges

My name is John Schmidt, and I’ve defended people charged with drug offenses for over 25 years across the greater Louisville area from my office in Shepherdsville.  The difference between a simple possession charge and drug trafficking charges is huge.  Prosecutors tend to charge drug trafficking if they consider the amount of drugs in your possession to be large, or if there were other criminal tools such as scales, baggies or even money.

Drug possession or possession of a controlled substance may be efficiently handled through presumptive probation or a deferred prosecution arrangement.

At the Law Offices of John Schmidt & Associates, we work to get the best possible outcome in your case.  We are often successful at getting the charges against you reduced, and can help get lower fines, reduced or no jail time and overall just a much less expensive and better outcome.  You deserve to be represented by an experienced lawyer, and we will work to aggressively and proactively investigate every aspect of the actions of law enforcement, evidence collection, witness and informant statements, and whether or not your rights were violated at any point in the process.  I work to reduce the severity of criminal charges and potential consequences you face or to achieve an outright dismissal of your case.

We invite you to contact us via e-mail, schedule an appointment or call us today at (502) 509-1490 to get the advice and aggressive criminal defense you need and deserve.  At the Law Offices of John Schmidt & Associates we bring more than 25 years of experience to your side of the equation, manage the situation you face and the allegations against you, and work hard to achieve a much better outcome in your case than you can or will accomplish on your own.
