What is drug supply?

The supply of a prohibited drug is one of the most serious drug offences. 

Our clients include members of large commercial drug enterprises, dial-a-dealer drivers, and first-time offenders charged with one-off supplies. The main defence against deemed supply is by proving the drugs were possessed for personal use only. 

We get the best result for you, whether you are charged with a smaller supply offence, like selling MDMA to friends at a music festival, or a serious drug offence, like supplying a large commercial quantity of ice.

What is drug importation?

Importing drugs into Australia is a Commonwealth offence.  

Importation cases vary significantly in strength. Our lawyers know how to beat charges based on circumstantial and unreliable evidence. Our criminal lawyers tear into co-accused informants who roll on their friends and associates to save their own skin.

We attack police experts and challenge the visual and voice identifications of people whom the police claim to be our clients. 

If our clients plead guilty, we get them the most lenient sentences. 

Pleading not guilty

You can read a twenty-step guide to pleading not guilty here.

Defences to drug charges, specifically, often include:

• Identification, which is where your defence is that the drug was committed by someone else.
• No drug offence occurred.
• Duress. 
• Lack of knowledge.
• Lack of exclusive possession.
• Licensed or authorised to have possession of the prohibited drug.
• Unlawful search and seizure.

Pleading guilty

You can read a fifteen-step guide to pleading guilty here.

In brief, some of the ways that our criminal lawyers can assist you in preparing your sentence for a drug offence include:

• Crafting arguments for you to obtain lenient results that involve no prison and no conviction with a section 10. 
• Negotiating with prosecutors for you to plead guilty to less serious facts or a less serious charge.
• Assisting you with references and apology letters.
• Obtaining psychological and psychiatric reports.
• Directing you to other services, such as drug and alcohol programs, counsellors, psychologists, and psychiatrists.

Bail
