Omaha, Nebraska - October 10th, 2024 - Facing drug-related criminal charges, including DUI, can be an overwhelming and frightening experience. The consequences can be severe, affecting your freedom, future, and reputation.

Having an experienced drug crimes defense lawyer by your side early in the process is critical to protecting your rights and ensuring a fair defense. Petersen Criminal Defense Law, led by attorney Tom Petersen, offers expert legal guidance to those accused of drug-related offenses, ensuring that clients are fully protected from the outset.

Early Legal Representation Is Crucial

When someone is accused of a drug-related crime, such as DUI, the police and prosecution waste no time in gathering evidence. Often, they rely heavily on statements made during early interactions between law enforcement and the accused. Many people mistakenly believe that cooperating fully with police during interviews will lead to leniency or even dropped charges. Unfortunately, these early interviews frequently become the prosecution's strongest weapon, as admissions made in the heat of the moment are later used as evidence in court.

Tom Petersen, an experienced criminal defense attorney, emphasizes the importance of contacting a lawyer immediately after an arrest or when facing criminal investigation. "Too often, people unknowingly incriminate themselves during the early stages of a police investigation," Petersen said. "By the time the case goes to court, the damage is already done, and the prosecution has built its case around statements that were made without a lawyer present. We encourage anyone facing drug-related charges to reach out to us before speaking with the authorities."
