Methamphetamine Defense Lawyer in Olathe

Methamphetamine Charges

At the Law Offices of John E. Harvell, I am an Olathe criminal defense lawyer representing those who have been arrested for methamphetamine drug charges.  I have been providing clients aggressive representation for over 20 years for those charges with drug crimes.  As a former judge and prosecutor, I know how the prosecution puts their case together and have the know-how to take it apart.  A strong defense is what you need to fight for your freedom when it is at risk due to a methamphetamine charge.

Methamphetamines are commonly known as speed, crank, meth or uppers.  It can be found in many forms, such as a pill, liquid or can be smoked as well.  When caught in possession of this drug, you could face felony charges, especially if you have any paraphernalia or equipment indicating you may be creating a meth lab or intend to distribute.  Law enforcement aggressively pursues convictions for this drug, as there are considerable related crimes that can occur around a meth lab.

Fighting for Your Rights

By mounting a skilled and aggressive defense on your behalf, I will fight to get your charges lowered or possibly even dismissed.  Having a drug conviction on your record can be a serious setback to your future.  Employers will be leery of hiring someone with a criminal drug record and this also limits your ability to obtain certain types of employment, such as any in education, law enforcement or involving children.  Your housing opportunities may also be limited, as few landlords would want to take on a convicted meth user as a tenant.  Don't risk a felony conviction without obtaining the skilled legal counsel you need to fight your charges.  Call me to find out what I can do for you.
