Salt Lake City Drug Crimes Lawyer
LAW OFFICE OF KIMBERLY J. TRUPIANO
In today's society, drug use is seen in many circles as being acceptable. Many television shows and movies emphasize the casual use of drugs. However, there are serious penalties under the law that using, possessing, distributing, or selling controlled substances and narcotics can carry, such as fines and prison. Many times, when a person is asked to reveal the contents of their purse or pockets or vehicle, they simply give away their rights. Others, when arrested for a drug crime, just give up and take whatever the judge imposes on them. Kimberly J. Trupiano handles cases involving drug and narcotics crimes in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the surrounding areas of the state.
As your attorney, Kimberly J. Trupiano will make sure that your rights are protected and work to avoid conviction as much as possible. In every case, she takes at least two important steps in developing the defense's case. First, she conducts a thorough factual and background investigation to explore the development of strong defense evidence. She looks into the facts to see if a motion to suppress evidence or a confession is appropriate. Next, she goes over the government's case with her client to determine whether it has a strong enough case to go to trial. If the government has a compelling evidentiary case against a client and her client wishes to explore negotiations, she gathers all of the positive factors indicated in her client's circumstances and personal situation and applies them to craft the best plea agreement possible.
Illegal Searches and Seizures
One of the biggest ways Kim can help clients who have been charged with a drug crime is in the research, preparation, and writing of detailed motions to suppress evidence and/or confessions. Police often make mistakes and fail to follow certain necessary procedures when they conduct searches, detain suspects, seize evidence, and elicit confessions or admissions. Kim investigates the police report and interviews witnesses to determine whether the search and seizure of certain evidence was unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment and whether the eliciting of any confession was coerced under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments. Kimberly J. Trupiano has had good success with her motions to suppress by breaking down the government's case through suppression of certain key evidence or confessions. She offers personal assistance to her clients as well, helping them to obtain counseling or drug rehabilitation therapy if it is appropriate and the client is willing.
