You Have Fourth Amendment Constitutional Rights!

If you have been arrested for possession or delivery of a controlled substance, it is a terrible idea to assume that you will be convicted. When you have an encounter with a police officer, you have many Fourth Amendment protections against warrantless searches and seizures. First of all, the police had to have a reason to come into contact with you. Secondly, they had to be looking in an appropriate place where they find something they think is drugs. Our Constitution provides your privacy rights shelter from improper police intervention.

The police often go beyond the legal boundaries of where they can search for drugs or contraband. Whether on your person, in your car, or in your house—you have privacy rights that the police cannot violate. If they do, then the evidence can be thrown out and your case dismissed.

Do Not Assume You Will Be Convicted

In order to arrest you, the police only needed "probable cause." Understand that "probable cause" is only a tiny fraction of the evidence the government needs to obtain a conviction. The District Attorney must prove the allegations "beyond a reasonable doubt," which is the highest evidentiary standard in the law. Just because you have been arrested does not mean that you are guilty under the law. Remember that you are presumed to be innocent under the law.

Criminal laws governing possession, sale or delivery of controlled substances are always changing. It is imperative to discuss your situation with an experienced attorney as soon as possible in order to learn the current state of the law, the possible consequences and your options.

Just a brief note to tell you how appreciative I am of how effective you were in my Bankruptcy Proceedings. I was never worried because I knew I was being represented by the best. Thank you!

I was faced with a first degree felony, which meant 5-99 years behind bars. It was terrifying. You are not only a great attorney but a very honest man with integrity...you saved my life.

- A.N.

From the first moment I met Mr. Pelley, he made me feel at ease. I was always updated, whether via mail or phone call of court dates and information concerning my case. He did a remarkable job and went above and beyond all my expectations. I wouldn't have to think twice about recommending Mr. Pelley to represent any of my family members or closest friends.
