Criminal Law, Drug Possession or DUI

If you have been accused of a crime, whether it is DUI, drug possession, theft, or a white collar crime, it is absolutely essential that you engage a lawyer that can accurately and fairly represent your interests in court.

Tom Drake can represent the accused in both state and federal courts and help those who are involved in criminal investigations, either as the target of the investigation or as a witness. 

Drunk Driving or DUI

If you have been issued a DUI, drunk driving is a serious charge that can have punishments that can devastate your life.  A DUI prosecution could have consequences which can include jail time, probation, a criminal record, loss of your driver’s license, and other things that can cause serious social and financial harm. You may feel like you can represent yourself in court to save money, but a mistake in handling your case could end up costing much more through fines, license suspension, jail time or even losing your job.

Representation for Drug Arrests

If you have been arrested for drug possession, including possession of marijuana, even if there is no conviction, the arrest can cause irreversible damage to your personal and professional reputation.  A conviction can mean fines, imprisonment, missing work or school, family crisis, and other penalties that a judge might impose.  Just being arrested can result in the loss of a job, even if no conviction results from the arrest.  Consequences can also include suspension from school for a student, problems in getting housing, or making it more difficult for someone who is out of a job to find work.  Having an attorney on your side that can advise you and represent you in court can make the difference in the outcome of your court case.

Other Criminal Charges

Other charges that require an attorney include burglary, juvenile crimes, vandalizing, car theft, embezzlement, assault, and domestic violence.
