Drug Offenses

Speak With a Lawyer Before You Speak to Police

Most people accused of a drug offense or other criminal offense fear the specter of jail and know next to nothing about the Delaware criminal justice system. They are ripe for law enforcement officer ploys to convince defendants to take a plea bargain rather than fight the charges. But is a plea bargain really the easy way out?

There is no easy way out of drug charges or any other criminal charge. You can, however, seek the counsel and advocacy of an experienced, respected and effective drug charges lawyer such as Jerome M. Capone of Wilmington, Delaware, to provide you with a skilled, thorough and focused drug charge defense.

What You Need to Know About Your Rights

You do not have to answer any questions that the police raise. You do not have to agree to anything that they say. You will be surprised at how quickly they can turn around what you say and use it against you.

"It is frustrating to watch videos of client interrogations knowing that, if they had called me first, they would have deprived the police of important evidence for the prosecution. You have a right to an attorney. Exercise that right before you speak to the law enforcement officials."

We Challenge the Prosecution's Case

Criminal defense attorney Jerome M. Capone has more than 30 years' experience and hundreds of successful drug charges trials under his belt. He knows how to contest the prosecution's case and find weak points that can be turned to your advantage. He is a noted trial lawyer and peer-elected member of the highly regarded American Trial Lawyers Association.

Our law office defends adults and juveniles against a broad spectrum of drug charges, including:

• Misdemeanor possession of marijuana
• Illegal possession of prescription drugs such as Oxytocin or Xanax
• Possession with intent to deliver cocaine or another drug
• Repeat offender possession or distribution
• Drug manufacture and cultivation

We review your specific situation and the events leading up to your arrest as we strategize a defense.

• Do you need drug treatment, not incarceration?
• Was there a violation of your constitutional rights?
• Did the police trick you or violate constitutional search and seizure standards and procedures?
• How can we distinguish you from involved co-defendants?

If convicted of a narcotics crime, you lose your driving privileges, even if the charge has nothing to do with a motor vehicle.

Don't Give Up Without a Fight

You need to remember that you are presumed innocent. Call Jerome M. Capone's law office in Wilmington, Delaware, today at 302.654.3260 or contact us online.
