Despite there being a variety of drugs on the market in today’s society, when accused of supplying or importing illegal drugs it is considered to be a serious drug offence. In recent years synthetic drugs have been added to the list of illegal drugs and the importation or supplying of such drugs can come with a high price to pay. When facing serious drug offence charges, along with the seriousness of the supply of drugs comes the potential problems of money laundering, jurisdiction issues and overseas evidence. Therefore the accusations are never clear cut and require a criminal solicitor who has in-depth knowledge of how these proceedings work. Our solicitors at ABV have years of experience with cases revolving around drugs and our expertise on the issue can keep you fully informed of the processes that you are facing and provide you with all the necessary advice.

How long will the investigation into my alleged offence take?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide a length of time a case will take. Every single case, no matter what the offence, has many areas of investigation and this is the same when facing serious drug offences. For instance, the following agencies may be involved in the investigation as there can be a variety of questions raised in different areas. These can and are not limited to the following; customs (HMRC), the National Crime Agency and the police. You may feel as though your individual case is not serious, but whilst using their investigative skills combined with their legal powers you may soon be on the receiving end of a highly invasive and far reaching investigation. Each case is treated with the utmost importance and seriousness, which is why we at ABV Solicitors are here to assist you with every step of this journey.
