"If you're facing a drug offense in Wisconsin, we have many years of experience in defending these types of cases. We successfully defended drug cases involving search warrants and recently defended a case where our client was the subject of a search warrant, drugs were found. We were able to demonstrate to the prosecutor what we believed to be were errors in the search warrant, itself. And we ultimately, successfully negotiated that case and there were no drug convictions entered against our client." -Attorney Pat Stangl
Winning Drug Defense Against Marijuana Plants Found in House

The following drug defense success story is shared with the intention of inspiring you not to give up on your defense against drug charges in Wisconsin, while protecting the identity of the client.
In a recent case (State v. J.H.), Stangl Law represented a client who had a search warrant executed on her house. As a result of the search, several marijuana plants were discovered.
The client was charged with a drug felony and her husband was charged with manufacturing THC.
In defending her case, Attorney Stangl believed there were false statements made in the affidavit portion of the complaint for the search warrant. He further contended that, due to these false statements or misstatements made in the affidavit—as well as the unreliability of the informant, there was no probable cause to issue the search warrant in the first place.
As it turned out, the information used to obtain the search warrant was, indeed, based on the allegations from this informant, who Attorney Stangl found to be unreliable. The informant had approximately ten prior criminal convictions, was a known drug user and had existing charges for obstructing justice. Moreover, some of the information provided by this individual was not confirmed.
Attorney Stangl brought a number of motions to have the search warrant and all of the evidence tossed out.
Those motions were then set for a hearing.
Late in the morning and prior to the afternoon hearing, Attorney Stangl received a call from the District Attorney to discuss his pending motions, sharing with Attorney Stangl that the State believed there was more than a reasonable chance that the motions to suppress would be granted.
Ultimately, the case was successfully resolved and Attorney Stangl's client was not convicted of any drug felony.
If you're feeling overwhelmed or hopeless as you prepare to go to court on drug-related charges, it's important to keep in mind that there are cases which have resulted in a positive outcome for others facing drug charges in Wisconsin.
