Indiana Drug Defense Attorneys

Drug Charges in Indiana

Indiana drug cases can begin with a traffic stop, a search warrant, a controlled purchase, an informant, surveillance, or an alleged overdose. The potential charge depends on the substance, weight, alleged intent, prior convictions, and whether prosecutors claim an enhancing circumstance such as proximity to a school, park, youth center, or family housing complex.

Custom Law defends allegations involving marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, narcotics, prescription medications, Schedule I through V substances, syringes, and paraphernalia. We examine who controlled the location, whether possession was actual or constructive, how the substance was tested and weighed, and whether the search complied with constitutional requirements.

Cases We Defend

• Possession of marijuana or another controlled substance
• Possession of cocaine, methamphetamine, or narcotics
• Dealing, delivery, or possession with intent to deliver
• Manufacturing methamphetamine
• Drug trafficking and transportation
• Paraphernalia and syringe charges
• Drug-related probation violations

Building a Drug Defense

Defense strategy may focus on an unlawful stop or search, a defective warrant, lack of possession, another person’s ownership, unreliable informants, laboratory or weight issues, broken evidence handling, or insufficient proof of intent to deal.

Indiana Code §35-48-4-12 may permit conditional discharge for a qualifying first-time marijuana defendant. Judgment is deferred while court conditions are completed, and successful completion can result in dismissal. Other goals may include suppression, dismissal, charge reduction, acquittal, or the lowest available penalty.
