Facing a drug crime is a serious legal matter that can have life-altering consequences, including hefty fines, probation, loss of employment opportunities, and potential imprisonment. A conviction not only threatens your freedom but can also create long-term challenges in securing housing, maintaining professional licenses, and accessing educational opportunities. With law enforcement and prosecutors aggressively pursuing drug crimes, it is crucial to have a skilled defense attorney who will fight to protect your rights and future.
At the Law Office of Hector J. Tamayo, we provide strong and strategic legal representation for individuals accused of a drug related crime. Whether you are facing charges for simple possession or more severe allegations such as drug trafficking or manufacturing, we are committed to delivering a vigorous defense tailored to the unique circumstances of your case.
Comprehensive Defense for Drug Charges
Our firm handles a wide range of drug-related offenses, including:
- Drug Possession: Defending against charges of possessing controlled substances such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, fentanyl, prescription drugs, and marijuana in amounts exceeding legal limits.
- Drug Distribution & Intent to Sell: Challenging allegations of selling, transporting, or possessing drugs with the intent to distribute.
- Drug Trafficking: Defending clients accused of large-scale drug operations, including interstate and international trafficking, which often involve federal charges and severe penalties.
- Drug Manufacturing & Cultivation: Representing individuals accused of illegal drug production, including meth labs and unlicensed marijuana grows.
- Prescription Drug Crimes: Handling cases related to the unlawful possession, distribution, or fraudulent use of prescription medications such as opioids, Xanax, and Adderall.
Fighting for Your Rights
Our approach to drug defense focuses on identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, challenging evidence, and protecting your constitutional rights. We explore all possible defenses, including:
- Illegal Search and Seizure: If law enforcement obtained evidence through an unlawful search of your home, vehicle, or person, we work to have the evidence suppressed.
- Violation of Constitutional Rights: We examine whether your Miranda rights were violated, if entrapment occurred, or if any procedural errors were made during your arrest.
- Lack of Possession or Knowledge: In some cases, we can argue that the drugs in question did not belong to you or that you were unaware of their presence.
- Chain of Custody & Lab Testing Errors: We scrutinize whether law enforcement properly handled and tested the alleged substances, exposing any inconsistencies or contamination.
- Diversion Programs & Alternative Sentencing: When applicable, we advocate for alternatives to incarceration, such as drug treatment programs, rehabilitation, or diversion programs that can lead to dismissed charges.

Regardless of whether you are facing misdemeanor or felony drug charges, we understand how overwhelming and stressful this situation can be. That’s why we provide personalized attention, clear guidance, and an aggressive defense strategy designed to achieve the best possible outcome—whether that means getting charges reduced, securing a case dismissal, or fighting for an acquittal in court.
