Arrested for a Drug Crime?

You Need to Know Your Rights — Immediately!

Penalties for conviction of drug possession are severe, even for personal use. The punishment doesn't fit the crime, but that's the law and many prosecutors drive a hard bargain.

If you are charged with possession or sale of drugs in Kansas or Missouri, you may be fighting for your freedom. Kansas City area criminal defense attorney Anthony Bukaty knows the drug laws, the courts and prosecutors on both sides of the stateline. His goal is to keep you out of jail by fighting the charges and negotiating lesser punishments or dismissals.

Contact Bukaty Law Offices, P.A., if you are charged with:

• Marijuana possession
• Possession of drug paraphernalia
• Possession of cocaine, crack, meth, heroin, ecstasy, GHB or other controlled substance
• Illegal possession of prescription narcotics (e.g., OxyContin, Vicodin, Percocet, Xanax and Hydrocodone)
• Sale or intent to distribute

Minimizing the Consequences

Possession of any illegal drug is a felony offense, except minor amounts of marijuana. The possibility of jail or prison is very real, especially if you have previous convictions for drugs or other crimes. Conviction may also lead to fines and forfeiture of personal property, and may affect your current job or future employment opportunities.

Anthony Bukaty aggressively challenges the circumstances of your arrest: the legality of your traffic stop or violations of your constitutional rights against illegal search and seizure. If the charges cannot be dismissed or reduced, he is a skilled defense lawyer who will take your case to a jury if necessary to defend your freedom.

For possession of minor amounts of drugs, you may qualify for non-jail alternatives if a prosecutor and judge can be persuaded to go along, such as:

• Drug treatment — Mr. Bukaty will fight to convince the court that you are unlikely to reoffend if placed into a court-supervised treatment program.
• Probation — In Kansas, some first-time drug offenders (and some repeat offenders) may qualify for a diversion program; if you stay clean, the charge will stay off your record. In Missouri, defendants may qualify for a suspended imposition of sentence (SIS) that works much the same way and also will leave no conviction.

We have also successfully fought to have many clients placed on House Arrest, Work Release, or Community Service instead on a long stint in jail or prison.
