Drug Offence Solicitors
Drug-related offences carry serious legal consequences, including substantial prison sentences, confiscation of assets, and long-term reputational damage. If you are under investigation or facing charges, expert legal representation is crucial.
At Allen Hoole, we are one of the largest and most experienced criminal defence firms in the South West of England, with a dedicated team of specialist drug offence solicitors. We have successfully represented clients in high-profile and complex drug cases, ensuring that every possible defence is explored.
Comprehensive Legal Representation for All Drug Offences
We provide expert legal advice and representation at every stage, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials. Our solicitors have extensive experience defending clients accused of:
Possession of Drugs
Even small amounts of controlled substances can result in prosecution. We frequently challenge the lawfulness of searches, forensic testing, and evidential weaknesses.
Possession with Intent to Supply Drugs
If the quantity of drugs, paraphernalia, or digital evidence suggests an intention to supply, the prosecution may seek severe penalties. We work with forensic experts to challenge the prosecution’s assumptions about intent.
Being Concerned in the Supply of Drugs
This offence does not require direct possession but involvement in arranging or facilitating drug supply. We analyse phone records, messages, and forensic evidence to build a strong defence.
Conspiracy to Supply Drugs
Conspiracy charges often involve multiple defendants and covert police operations. We provide expert defence in large-scale drug cases, including those linked to county lines drug networks.
Production and Cultivation of Drugs
This includes cannabis farms and the production of synthetic drugs. We have successfully defended individuals who were unaware of illicit activity or were coerced into involvement.
Importation of Drugs
Bringing controlled substances into the UK is a serious offence, often involving international law enforcement. Our solicitors have experience in cross-border drug cases and extradition proceedings.
Permitting Premises to Be Used for Drug-Related Activities
Landlords, business owners, and tenants can face prosecution if illegal drug activities occur on their premises. We have represented innocent landlords and individuals who were unaware of illegal activities.
Money Laundering & POCA Proceedings
Drug-related prosecutions often lead to money laundering charges and asset confiscation under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA). We are experts in challenging POCA proceedings and negotiating favourable settlements.
