Defending Clients Who Are Facing Drug Crime Charges in Virginia Beach County
The effects of a drug crime conviction can be far-reaching. In addition to costly fines, you may be facing significant time in prison, depending on the specifics of your charges. Mandatory minimum sentencing applies to most drug crime convictions, so if you are convicted, you could be facing a prison sentence for a predetermined amount of time.

Drug Crimes Cases We Defend Against
Our Virginia Beach drug crime lawyer represents clients who have been charged with drug crimes involving any of the following:
We handle cases involving marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, Ecstasy, other illegal drugs, and prescription drugs. When we defend someone, we look at the facts and details of the case to determine the most effective legal strategy. Even if you believe you have no chance of overcoming your charges, there may be solid defense options available.
Defense Strategies For Drug Charges
For the most part, the penalties for drug crimes, and possession, in particular, are similar across the board. To form a defense, a Virginia Beach drug crime attorney reviews the facts and witness testimony and evidence. A lawyer may also evaluate whether or not law enforcement committed errors or if there were other mistakes made during the investigative process.
These are some of the most common defenses to possession charges:
- The evidence was obtained in an unlawful search and seizure
- The drugs that were recovered do not belong to you, and you had no knowledge of their placement or location
- The crime lab analysis determined that the drugs were not illegal
- The drugs that were seized became lost or misplaced
- The drugs were planted to frame the defendant
- The defendant became a victim of entrapment
When faced with charges of this magnitude, having a Virginia Beach drug crime attorney offering support to you is essential. If you have been charged, you have every right to protect yourself, particularly if you believe that the accusations have no basis or you were falsely accused.

I hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens

Got a referral from a friend. "Call this guy I heard he's good." With much skepticism I called.
Dan did an excellent job for me. You will notice immediately he is smart, decisive, no nonsense and many more great qualities you want in a lawyer. It took very little time to see I just hired one of the best lawyers I've ever met.Professionally speaking, If you want somebody to tell you all the wonderful things that make you feel all fuzzy and warm its not Dan in my opinion.
However, if you want a highly intelligent, brutally honest, focused, driven lawyer that will shoot straight every time AND go the extra mile to make sure no rock is left unturned... Dan is the man!
