Phoenix Drug Sales Attorney
Charged with Drug Sales in Phoenix?
If you are being charged with a drug sales case in Phoenix, you are facing prison time. The most important thing that
you can do when facing these charges is find an attorney that you trust and that you know will fight to keep you out of
prison. Attorney Jon M. Martinez is a former major crimes prosecutor in Arizona who has a record of winning cases
and fighting hard to get the absolute best result possible for his clients. Far too often, prosecutors and even other
defense attorneys become far too complacent with drug sales cases. While it is far easier to simply plea out a case
and send a person to prison immediately, at the Jon M. Martinez Criminal Law Group, we are determined not to
simply plea you out as quickly as possible and promise to work with you and fight for you every step of the way. We
know that you are more than a case number and will never treat you as one.
Penalties for Drug Charges in Arizona
While a simple drug possession charge generally does not require prison for a first time offender, drug sales and drug
transportation cases are treated very harshly in Arizona. Drug sales and drug distribution cases are serious felony
offenses and some may require mandatory prison. For example, if you are charged with Sales of Methamphetamine
and the drug amount is over the threshold amount, you are facing a presumptive of 10 years in prison. Having an
experienced drug sales attorney on your side can mean the difference between freedom and a prison cell.
On top of potential mandatory prison time and a felony criminal record, you may also be facing extreme fines and
penalties. For drug sales cases, you may face a fine of three times the value of the drugs involved and 360 hours of
community service. Prosecutors in these cases often have enormous resources to help them fight their case against
you. It is important that you have an attorney who is willing to fight the government to protect your rights and your
freedom.
Defending Against Drug Charges
The Jon M. Martinez Criminal Law Group has the experience in the courtroom and knowledge of the law to win your
case. When facing such serious charges, you must be certain that your attorney does everything possible to exploit
any weakness in the State’s case. The only possible way to do that is to thoroughly investigate every aspect of your
case, including interviewing witnesses, filing motions to suppress or hiring outside experts to help put you in the best
position for your case.
Every drug sales case in Phoenix is unique. This makes it even more important to have an attorney who knows the
law and knows how to protect your constitutional rights in order to ensure the best result possible. Attorney Jon M.
Martinez is a former major crimes prosecutor in Phoenix and has first hand knowledge on how drug sales cases are
prosecuted in Arizona. For years now, Mr. Martinez has used that experience as a prosecutor to protect the rights of
