Drugs
Military Drug Offense Lawyer
You went home or on leave and did something stupid. Now you've failed a mandatory urinalysis and your career is in jeopardy. Who can you trust to fight for your rights and for your future?
At the military law and criminal defense law firm of attorney Patrick J. McLain, we serve Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines worldwide who need experienced, skilled and independent advocacy in fighting the long-term consequences of a conviction in a court martial drug offense, such as:
- Urinalysis positive for drugs
- Refusal to participate in urinalysis
- Drug possession (marijuana, cocaine, meth, etc.)
- Sale, distribution or drug trafficking
Many servicemen and servicewomen think that the evidence in a drug-related court martial cannot be challenged. That is not the case. Experienced and knowledgeable civilian defense lawyer Patrick J. McLain knows the procedure. He has visited the drug labs, done the research and has successfully advocated dozens of these cases in both courts martial and civilian criminal courts.
Our firm can bring forensic toxicologists on board in your case to challenge the evidence and the procedures followed by the drug labs. If you want the independent legal advice and loyal representation of an experienced military law attorney, please contact us today to schedule an initial consultation.
Why Is it Important To Fight Military Drug Offense Charges?
If you are discharged for possession or sale of drugs, you may be labeled a drug abuser for life. Your military record and the status of your discharge can close the doors of future opportunity in civilian life.
Even if you have already been convicted or you accepted a plea agreement in your drug offense court martial, you may still have options to mitigate the consequences to your future. Patrick J. McLain can represent you in your petition to the service correction board so that you don't have to pay for a stupid mistake for the rest of your life.
Don’t let a false positive drug test or unfair military drug offense charge lead to an Administrative Separation Board or Board of Inquiry or worse. Call the law offices of military law defense attorney Patrick J. McLain at (214) 377-1470 (ext. 227) or e-mail us now to schedule an initial consultation.
