Federal and State Drug Crimes Defense Lawyers
Aggressive Defense From Former Deputy District Attorneys
Law enforcement officials are under increased pressure to make more arrests for serious drug crimes. As a result, an arrest for simple possession can quickly evolve into a full-scale, elaborate investigation designed to catch both suppliers and distributors. Those caught in the middle of these complex investigations may find themselves facing serious charges and lengthy prison sentences.
If you have been charged with a drug crime or are being investigated for drug charges, your defense attorney needs to know how the prosecution will approach the case. Attorney Jeffrey T. Hammerschmidt was a Fresno County prosecutor for 12 years and obtained many convictions in drug cases.
Contact the Law Office of Jeffrey T. Hammerschmidt. Call 559.233.5333 for a strong criminal defense.
Mr. Hammerschmidt is an AV-rated* attorney and one of a very select group of criminal law specialists certified by the State Bar of California's Board of Legal Specialization. His combination of experience, knowledge and dedication has lead to acquittals or reductions in charges in many cases.
