Aggressive Maryland Criminal Defense Against Serious Drug Offenses
If you or your son or daughter has been arrested for drug charges, or if you know you are under investigation for drug crimes, you need a lawyer who has “been there” for hundreds of drug clients, and come away with positive outcomes.
The Law Offices of Thomas C. Mooney is one of the top criminal defense firms statewide for drug cases. Representing clients in Rockville, Upper Marlboro and the surrounding areas, we fight charges involving every drug: pot, meth, heroin, cocaine, crack and illegal prescription drugs.
Our attorneys’ approach is to pick apart the prosecution’s case, looking for flaws in the arrest and preventing evidence from being admitted. There are many ways to win drug cases – at the beginning, in the middle and at the end. Even when conviction occurs, a sound defense can tilt the sentence away from prison time and toward a less-damaging consequence, such as diversion, obtaining treatment or attending drug classes.
