Simply being charged with a drug crime does not make you guilty. The state must prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt and it is our job to question the evidence and police tactics to identify and exploit weaknesses in the case against you. At the Law Office of A. Randolph Hough, our reputation as tenacious litigators and thorough investigators is well known by police and prosecutors who will often choose to negotiate a favorable resolution rather than face us before a jury.

If you have been arrested on a serious drug charge, you don’t need an attorney who will simply “guide” you through the legal system to an inevitable conviction and permanent criminal record. You need a skilled trial defense lawyer who will aggressively protect you against these charges and related infractions, including loss of driver’s license (revocation / suspension) and white collar offenses like money-laundering.
