Several defenses can be used against drug trafficking charges, depending on the case’s circumstances. Common defenses include challenging the legality of the search and seizure (if your rights were violated), lack of knowledge or intent (e.g., you were unaware drugs were in your possession), and questioning the chain of evidence or reliability of witnesses. In some cases, proving that you were forced or coerced into the activity (duress) can also be a defense. Consulting an experienced criminal defense lawyer is crucial to evaluate your case and build a strong defense.
