Defending Clients Who Are Facing Drug Crime Charges in Virginia Beach County
The effects of a drug crime conviction can be far-reaching. In addition to costly fines, you may be facing significant time in prison, depending on the specifics of your charges.

The Law Offices of Daniel J. Miller provides an experienced and effective criminal defense of drug charges to clients throughout southeastern Virginia.

Drug Crimes Cases We Defend Against
Our Virginia Beach drug crime lawyer represents clients who have been charged with drug crimes involving any of the following:
We handle cases involving marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, Ecstasy, other illegal drugs, and prescription drugs. When we defend someone, we look at the facts and details of the case to determine the most effective legal strategy. Even if you believe you have no chance of overcoming your charges, there may be solid defense options available.
Defense Strategies For Drug Charges
For the most part, the penalties for drug crimes, and possession, in particular, are similar across the board. To form a defense, a Virginia Beach drug crime attorney reviews the facts and witness testimony and evidence. A lawyer may also evaluate whether or not law enforcement committed errors or if there were other mistakes made during the investigative process.
These are some of the most common defenses to possession charges:
- The evidence was obtained in an unlawful search and seizure
- The drugs that were recovered do not belong to you, and you had no knowledge of their placement or location
- The crime lab analysis determined that the drugs were not illegal
- The drugs that were seized became lost or misplaced
- The drugs were planted to frame the defendant
- The defendant became a victim of entrapment
When faced with charges of this magnitude, having a Virginia Beach drug crime attorney offering support to you is essential. If you have been charged, you have every right to protect yourself, particularly if you believe that the accusations have no basis or you were falsely accused.

Call Dan Miller now - you need look no further for the best divorce attorney in Hampton Roads. Divorce is not an easy situation but it is even worse if you do not have good representation.
I was in the midst of a divorce and my case was with a firm that was not representing me fairly and not answering my questions. I was at a loss and dreaded going to court. Then a friend told me of Dan Miller. I wish I had found this firm in the beginning! From the first hour of turning my case over to this office I stopped worrying. I knew I had made the right choice and my case was in good hands. Dan Miller was professional, and he fought for me and I was very happy with the way he handled my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I was very nervous when I had to go to court over a traffic accident I was recently involved in. Dan put me at ease almost immediately with his knowledge and tenacity. By the time Dan was finished questioning the other people involved in the accident I did not even have to testify (which was the major source of my nervousness). My innocence was clear to everyone in the room, thanks to Dan. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others. Aside from his performance during the hearing he was very easy to contact and always kept appointments with me. He also answered all of my questions patiently and with understanding.- Client
