Experienced Defense for Drug Trafficking Charges
An arrest for drug trafficking usually follows a long investigation. But if law enforcement overstepped their authority or relied on bad information, it may be possible to escape conviction or reduce the impact.
I am Michael Spano, a criminal defense lawyer committed to protecting your rights if you are facing serious drug charges. My 17 years of experience includes experience as a chief assistant district attorney in Onondaga County.
I have successfully defended clients in Syracuse and Central New York indicted on drug trafficking and conspiracy charges, including federal drug crime prosecutions.
Sophisticated Representation for Major Drug Charges
My background as a prosecutor allows me to deconstruct the government's case. I know understand what questions to ask and how to examine evidence from many angles. I have had success challenging:
- Legality of wiretaps
- Conclusions drawn from surveillance measures
- Credibility of informants
- Conduct of undercover agents
- Overly broad search warrants
- Exceeding the parameters of search warrants
- My client's role as a major player in a drug conspiracy
My priority is avoiding the lengthy prison term for a drug trafficking conviction. When prudent or necessary, I am ready to take your case to a jury to counter the allegations. I will exhaust all avenues to get the charges dismissed or evidence excluded.
