Arrested on Drug Charges in Tulsa? The Search Is Where We Start.
Most drug cases begin with a traffic stop or a search. If the stop or the search was unlawful, the evidence can be thrown out. Talk with a Tulsa defense attorney who will look at how the police found what they found.

Possession, Intent, or Trafficking
- Simple possession is generally a misdemeanor in Oklahoma.
- Possession with intent to distribute is a felony, often charged on packaging, scales, cash, or messages alone.
- Trafficking is charged by weight and carries the heaviest penalties.
- Location and circumstances, such as a school zone or a child present, can add time.
What Is at Stake
- Jail or prison time.
- A felony record that affects jobs, housing, and firearm rights.
- Driver license consequences in some cases.
- Forfeiture of cash, vehicles, and property.
- Immigration and professional license consequences.
How We Defend Drug Cases
The stop and the search
Was there a lawful reason for the stop? Valid consent? A proper warrant? A dog sniff that took too long? If not, we move to suppress.
Whose was it?
Being near drugs is not the same as possessing them. Shared cars and homes raise real questions of proof.
The lab and the weight
The State has to prove what the substance is and how much there was. We check the testing.
Intent
We challenge the jump from possession to distribution.
Alternatives
Drug court, diversion, and deferred sentences can keep a conviction off your record where you qualify.

Common Questions
The drugs were not mine. Can I still be charged?
Yes, but the State has to prove you knew about them and had control over them. That is often the weakest part of the case.
The police searched my car without a warrant. Is that legal?
Sometimes. It depends on the reason for the stop, what the officer saw, and whether you consented. We review the video.
Can I get treatment in place of jail?
Often, yes. Tulsa County has alternative court programs for people who qualify.
Will I lose property that was seized?
Forfeiture is a separate case with short deadlines. Tell us right away if anything was taken.
How much does it cost?
