Charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking

Our drug trafficking defense experience is your peace of mind

Drug possession laws in Alberta prohibit the accused parties from being in possession of and trafficking illegal and illicit substances like marijuana, ecstasy, crystal meth, cocaine, etc. However, to prove possession, the prosecution must show that the accused person had both control over the substance and knowledge of the illegal substance.

Drug trafficking penalties for a criminal conviction can include fines, court-ordered treatment and significant prison sentences, if you are found guilty. If you or someone you know wants to avoid a serious drug trafficking penalty, you should contact the The Law Office of McGlashan & Mackinnon. We have decades of experience in successfully dismantling the prosecution’s case by scrutinizing the drug trafficking arrest, the police investigation and the collection of evidence.

The criminal law attorneys at the The Law Office of McGlashan & Mackinnon have successfully defended clients who have been arrested and accused of illegally trafficking such illegal substances as Marijuana, Cocaine, Ecstasy, Methamphetamine, Heroin, Oxy Contin, Pain killers and Illegal prescription drugs.

In every drug trafficking case, there is a question of whether or not the evidence against you was obtained lawfully. If the police performed an illegal search and seizure, the evidence can’t be used against you. We attempt to undermine the police investigation and prosecution’s case by scrutinizing the following:

  • Was a search warrant issued?
  • Were the terms of the warrant executed properly?
  • Was there probable cause to issue a search warrant
  • Was there probable cause to allow a wire tap?
  • Is the quality of the evidence against you questionable?
