Indiana Drug Crime Defense Attorney | Experienced Drug Possession & Dealing Lawyer


Are you facing drug charges in Indiana? The consequences of drug-related convictions can be devastating, impacting every area of your life—from your freedom and finances to employment and family. Brian has a proven track record defending clients charged with drug offenses across Indiana, providing aggressive representation and compassionate support when you need it most.

Aggressive Drug Crime Defense | Protecting Your Rights and Freedom

Our top priority in drug cases is to rigorously evaluate every aspect of your case to identify potential defenses. Specifically, we focus heavily on:

  • Search and Seizure Violations: We meticulously examine the legality of police searches, traffic stops, seizures, and warrants. Over our careers, we have successfully filed hundreds of motions to suppress evidence, often leading to charges being dismissed or reduced.
  • Procedural Mistakes by Police: We scrutinize how evidence was handled, your rights during questioning, and whether proper procedures were followed at every stage.

Types of Drug Charges We Defend in Indiana

Our extensive experience covers various drug-related offenses, including:

  • Drug Possession: Marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, fentanyl, unauthorized prescription drugs, and other controlled substances.
  • Drug Dealing and Distribution: Selling, trafficking, or delivering controlled substances.
  • Drug Manufacturing: Operating meth labs, cultivating marijuana, and producing illegal substances.
  • Prescription Drug Fraud: Illegal acquisition or distribution of prescription medications.

The Consequences Can be Severe

Drug convictions can affect far more than a criminal record.

Depending upon the charge, the consequences may include:


  • Jail or prison
  • Significant fines
  • Probation or Community Corrections
  • Loss of professional licenses
  • Employment consequences
  • Driver's license issues
  • Difficulty obtaining housing
  • Immigration consequences for non-citizens
  • A permanent felony record


The earlier you involve an experienced criminal defense attorney, the more opportunities there may be to protect your future.

Every Client Deserves an Individual Strategy

No two drug cases are alike.


Some cases should be challenged aggressively through suppression motions or constitutional litigation. Others may call for negotiations designed to avoid incarceration or reduce long-term consequences.

My responsibility is not to apply the same strategy to every client.


My responsibility is to recommend the strategy that best serves your interests.


That begins with an honest assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of your case—not unrealistic promises or unnecessary delay.

Alternatives to Incarceration

Even when dismissal is not possible, there may be alternatives that better protect your future.

Depending upon the circumstances, those options may include:


  • Diversion programs
  • Substance abuse treatment
  • Rehabilitation programs
  • Probation
  • Home detention
  • Community Corrections
  • Work release


Every sentencing strategy should be tailored to the individual—not treated as a one-size-fits-all solution.
