Milwaukee Drug Diversion
Program Defense Lawyers

Smart, aggressive, and experienced trial lawyers.

What 30 Years of Experience Means to You

If you are facing drug charges, you cannot simply expect criminal prosecutors to voluntarily offer alternatives to traditional punishments. You need to have a lawyer on your side who knows the alternatives that are available and when they should be explored. With more than 30 years of experience, that is the knowledge we possess. At Courtney & Molter, our lawyers are skilled at working with prosecutors to pursue alternatives to fines and incarceration.

Deferred Prosecution

We have extensive experience pursuing deferred prosecution as an outcome in cases involving possession and delivery of drugs and other drug crimes. Deferred prosecution is when the prosecutor agrees to hold off on prosecution and give the accused the opportunity to enter drug rehabilitation. If the accused successfully completes the program and stays off drugs, after a certain period of time, the prosecutor may be willing to dismiss the charges. In other words, this is like not being charged with the crime at all. No fines. No incarceration. No criminal record. We know when to seek deferred prosecution from prosecutors.

Drug Diversion Programs

If the prosecutor insists on prosecuting the accused, we will fight the charges. In some cases, we may work with prosecutors to negotiate a punishment that requires the accused to enter a drug treatment facility, rather than a jail. There are a variety of drug diversion programs, and our experience means we know when they apply and how to use them.

Cocaine Possession

Smart, aggressive, and experienced cocaine possession defense lawyers.

Have You Been Arrested?

Not all drug possession charges are created equal. Criminal prosecutors approach cocaine possession charges differently than they approach other drug possession charges, and that approach tends to be much more aggressive. When choosing a lawyer to represent you, it is critical that you look for someone who understands the nuances of the specific charge you are facing, and the specific jurisdiction you were charged in. You want someone who is knowledgeable about drug charges and willing to fight to protect your rights and your future.

How to Defend Against Charges

For more than 30 years, the lawyers at Courtney & Molter have been defending people in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin against cocaine possession charges. We understand the elements police and prosecutors use to gather evidence and build cases, from warrants to searches and seizures and beyond. More importantly, we know how to identify whether your constitutional rights were violated in the process. If they were, that can lead to evidence or your entire case being thrown out. We hold law enforcement accountable for their mistakes.

We know that working with prosecutors can be as valuable as working against them. With a strong defense strategy in place, we may be able to negotiate a positive outcome with prosecutors. If prosecutors are unwilling to negotiate, taking options like drug diversion programs off the table, we are ready to take the matter to trial.

Cocaine Possession With Intent to Sell

The amount of cocaine you were allegedly found to be in possession of will impact the severity of your charges. You may face charges of possession with intent to sell, or even drug trafficking and distribution. We can defend you no matter what you have been accused of.

Milwaukee Drug Trafficking
Defense Lawyers

Smart, aggressive, and experienced drug trafficking defense lawyers.

Being convicted and going to prison on drug trafficking or drug distribution charges is very serious. You have every right to take advantage of the protections afforded by the U.S. Constitution.

You have the right to remain silent, and the right to counsel. If the police failed to read your Miranda rights, we will challenge the arrest. If law enforcement had no search warrant or failed to show probable cause, the attorneys at Courtney & Molter will challenge the search of your home or vehicle.

The impact of a felony conviction is huge, including possible life imprisonment and substantial fines. That is why we explore every possible option to achieve the most positive outcome.

Your future and your freedom are at stake. If you are convicted, you may lose the right to bear arms, vote or find a new job and place to live.

Defending You Against Drug Trafficking Charges

We understand that an arrest impacts not only you, but your family, so we file bail motions to reunite you with your family. Whenever possible, we work toward a deferred prosecution agreement to reduce charges. This type of agreement is a contract between the defendant and the state. For your part, you would have to fulfill the terms of the contract: for example, getting a job, paying restitution or attending a monitored drug-treatment program. If the state agrees that you have successfully completed the terms of the agreement, your drug delivery charges will be reduced or dismissed.

We are experienced in pursuing alternatives to jail, prison or incarceration, including:

• Community service alternatives
• Deferred prosecution
• Home detention
• Restorative justice programs
• Probation
• Counseling alternatives
• Cooperation agreements
• Expungement

Pre-charge Investigations

We are committed to exploring your options, including moving for dismissed or reduced charges. It is never too early for an attorney at our firm to get involved. If you are under active investigation for drug trafficking, contact us as soon as possible. The sooner we get involved, the more likely you will get better results.

Milwaukee Heroin Possession
Defense Lawyers

Smart, aggressive, and experienced heroin possession defense lawyers.

Have You Been Accused of Possessing Heroin?

In Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin, criminal prosecutors often take a much harsher approach to charges of heroin possession than to charges involving possession of other drugs. This is partially due to the stigma associated with heroin use, not to mention the media attention received by heroin overdoses and deaths. If you have been accused of possessing heroin, you want a lawyer on your side who understands how prosecutors work and is willing to counter the hard-line approach they use in these drug charges.

Defense Strategies

At Courtney & Molter, our lawyers have been defending people against heroin possession charges for more than 30 years. We know that, now more than ever, prosecutors may be less willing to negotiate. They may not be willing to offer drug diversion programs or other alternatives, instead pressing for the maximum penalty. We know that we will have to aggressively protect your rights and your future.

In order to succeed, we need to carefully examine your case. We will review the steps the police took prior to arresting you. Did they have probable cause or did illegal search and seizure take place? If there was a warrant, was it accurate and used properly? Are there mitigating factors that need to be taken into consideration? We will get all the information we need to build a strong defense strategy. If prosecutors are unwilling to negotiate, we will go to trial to defend you against heroin possession charges.

Heroin Possession With Intent to Sell

Depending on the amount of heroin you were allegedly caught with, you may be charged with possession with intent to sell. You may face charges of drug trafficking and distribution. We can defend against all heroin charges.

Marijuana Possession
Defense Lawyers

Smart, aggressive, and experienced marijuana possession defense lawyers.

Have You Been Accused of Possessing Marijuana?

The severity of marijuana possession charges can vary dramatically, depending on a variety of factors. The jurisdiction you were arrested in plays a role. In Milwaukee County, the offense may be treated only as an ordinance violation, which is relatively minor compared to other Wisconsin counties, where it may be charged as a misdemeanor. Of course, whether or not this is your first offense or not also makes a difference. A second offense may be charged as a felony, making matters much more serious.

More Than 30 Years of Experience

At Courtney & Molter, our lawyers know the jurisdictions we practice in. We know the appropriate action that needs to be taken, regardless of where you were accused of marijuana possession. We know how to work with criminal prosecutors so that you can benefit from drug diversion programs and other alternatives. When prosecutors push, we can push back, taking your case to trial if necessary.

Marijuana Possession With Intent to Sell

Enough marijuana allegedly in your possession could lead to charges of possession with intent to sell. You may also face charges of drug trafficking and distribution, which our experienced criminal defense lawyers can defend you against.

Milwaukee OxyContin
Defense Lawyers

Smart, aggressive, and experienced OxyContin defense lawyers.

Were You Caught With Oxycodone Painkillers?

At Courtney & Molter, our lawyers have more than 30 years of experience defending against drug charges of all types. Over the years, we have been witness to the rise in cases involving possession of prescription drugs without a prescription, including OxyContin. We have handled many of these cases, witnessing firsthand how criminal prosecutors approach them from one jurisdiction to the next. We know that prosecutors take these cases very seriously, and that severe penalties are on the line. Let us protect your rights and your future.

Your Story and How It Impacts Your Case

Our defense strategy in every case involves looking for every opportunity to minimize the repercussions or have the charges dismissed, and OxyContin possession cases are no different. Did the police conduct an illegal search and seizure? Was the warrant mishandled? Were your constitutional rights violated? If so, we will find out and take appropriate action.

Depending on your situation, negotiation with the prosecutor may make more sense. Perhaps you have an issue with addiction, and treatment would make much more sense than punishment. We will listen to your story and work hard to do what is right for you. Our attorneys seek drug diversion programs for our clients whenever it makes sense.
