Drug Offenses
Mitchell Nolte has
the knowledge and experience to ensure that those
charged with any type of drug case will receive first-rate
representation. While Mr. Nolte was at the District
Attorney's Office, he was entrusted to maintain an
aggressive and intense jury trial practice focused
on major narcotic manufacturers and dealers.
Mr. Nolte
will make every effort to find out whether your case
was “made” by an informant.
If you were set up by an informant, Mr. Nolte will
conduct a full investigation of the informant’s
background in preparation for trial. Mr. Nolte
will also ensure that your Fourth Amendment civil
rights were not violated during the course of law
enforcement’s investigation.
When appropriate,
Mr. Nolte also handles pre-indictment drug investigations.
Through his various law enforcement contacts, Mr.
Nolte can represent and counsel individuals, who
are charged with but not yet indicted for drug offenses,
to cooperate with law enforcement in exchange for
favorable treatment.
The offense levels
of drug cases are extremely varied. For example,
Possession of Marijuana alone can range from a class
B misdemeanor that carries a range of punishment
from up to 180 days in the county jail and/or a fine
of up to $2,000 to a first degree felony that carries
the possibility of time in the penitentiary.
Other possible charges include Possession of Controlled Substances, like cocaine and heroin, Delivery and Manufacturing of Controlled Substances, Delivery of Marijuana, and Prescription Fraud. Many of these cases can carry license
suspensions as well. If your license is suspended after a conviction, Mr. Nolte can assist you in obtaining an Occupational
Driver's License (ODL).
