Mississippi Drug Crime and Intent to Distribute Lawyer

At the Burghard Law Firm, PLLC, serving clients in Hattiesburg and Brookhaven, Mississippi, we recognize the seriousness of a drug charge. Our background in this area covers a variety of cases, from misdemeanor possession to felony trafficking. Put our extensive experience to work for you.

Our firm has defended clients charged with possession, intent to distribute, and trafficking of marijuana, heroin, cocaine (crack and powder), crystal meth, and Ecstasy. The officers who arrest suspects allegedly involved in those activities must take careful steps to ensure that all rights are protected, particularly in the area of search and seizure.

At the Burghard Law Firm, PLLC, we take an aggressive and detail-oriented approach to your case. While many criminal defense attorneys never see their clients until the hearing commences, we take a more direct tack in dealing with ours. You can count on your lawyer to meet with you in our office and communicate with you over the telephone. This unsettling time in your life requires that you are in constant contact with your attorney.

We will request a preliminary hearing immediately to find out the specific charges and the evidence the prosecution has against you before any indictment. It helps us manage your case if we know what we are up against in a trial. If you are indicted, we will represent you at trial. The search and seizure aspect of your initial arrest will be a primary focus. Oftentimes, it can mean the difference between being convicted and having the case thrown out for violation of your rights.

Our firm has also represented clients accused of prescription drug abuse involving OxyContin, Xanax, and Codeine. Many individuals we represent have been arrested because their medication was in a pill dispenser and not a prescription bottle. Rights need to be protected in this aspect of drug litigation, and your lawyer at our firm will defend those rights.
