Reduced Sentences for Crack-Related Offenses
If a loved one is serving federal prison time for a drug crime related to crack, he or she may be able to have the sentence reduced. Federal sentencing guidelines changed on March 3, 2008. The change could result in lower prison sentences for people convicted of crack cocaine drug offenses. Because of the change, almost 20,000 people may be eligible for reduced sentences and 3,800 may be eligible for release within a year. To seek a reduced sentence, talk with a lawyer at the Menchu Law Office.
Tools for effective drug charge defense:
Our work has resulted in many drug cases being dismissed. One effective tool is the Motion to Suppress, which is filed if the police acted unlawfully. The result is that none of the evidence illegally seized by the police is admissible in court. The Motion to Suppress is used when the police have a defective warrant, did not have probable cause to stop a vehicle, did not have authority to search and many other scenarios.
