Drug crime defense:

Lisa McCamey will investigate and carefully evaluate all aspects of the case and charges against her client:

• Is the client an addict or just a user?
• Is a criminal background going to prevent the client from getting treatment?
• Was evidence used against the client acquired as a result of an illegal traffic stop or illegal search and seizure?
• Was the client illegally detained?
• Was the client informed of his or her Miranda rights?
• Did the police lie to get a search warrant?

Attorney Lisa McCamey will do everything legally possible to protect her clients' rights, and is not afraid to challenge a police officer, a judge, or a prosecutor when those rights are being unjustly compromised.
