A Vigorous Defense From a Former Prosecutor

As a former prosecutor, attorney Mark A. Hammer understands that drug cases are not always easy to prove. In many cases, the state has evidence that is questionable in nature. In some cases, the evidence is in the form of illegally seized drugs or money that may be the subject of a successful motion to suppress. Attorney Hammer's prosecutorial experience helps him know what to look for in these cases and helps him recognize when a particular situation or police report looks suspicious.

In other cases, the sole witness for the prosecution may be a drug dealer or confidential informant that has a motive to provide false testimony in an effort to satisfy a favorable plea agreement. Other examples of questionable evidence include audio tapes and video tapes that are inaudible, blurry or that show little or nothing.

As an experienced criminal law attorney, Mr. Hammer understands how to attack criminal charges, create a legal plan of action and work strategically to seek a positive result for you. If you have been charged with a state or federal drug crime, contact our law office today to learn more about how we can help you.
