Dear criminal defense attorney,
My name is Franceska Meyer and I have a question regarding drug trafficking. I was recently arrested by the police on suspicion of drug trafficking and now face a criminal trial. I am innocent and have no idea how this accusation came about.
I am very worried about the possible consequences that await me if I am found guilty. How will a drug trafficking offense affect my future? Could I lose my job? And what are the criminal consequences that could befall me in the worst case scenario?
I want to defend myself to the best of my ability and urgently need support and advice. What steps can I take to prove my innocence and protect my rights? Are there any possible evidence that could prove my innocence?
I am very concerned about my future and hope for your professional guidance and representation to protect me from the consequences of drug trafficking. Thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,
Franceska Meyer
Dear Mrs. Meyer,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the accusation of drug trafficking that you are facing. It is understandable that you are worried about the possible consequences and seeking support. As a specialized criminal defense attorney, I am here to assist you and will provide detailed answers to your questions below.
First and foremost, it is important to emphasize that in a criminal proceeding, it is the duty of the prosecution to prove the guilt of the accused. As a suspect, you are to be considered innocent until proven otherwise. It is therefore up to the prosecution to demonstrate that you have actually engaged in drug trafficking. In a country governed by the rule of law like Germany, the presumption of innocence applies, and it is the responsibility of the investigative authorities to present sufficient evidence of your guilt.
In the event of a conviction for drug trafficking, you may face serious penalties. These can range from a fine to a lengthy prison sentence, depending on the quantity of substances traded and other circumstances of the case. Furthermore, a record in the police clearance certificate may impact your professional future, as many employers look for a clean criminal record when hiring.
To prove your innocence and protect your rights, it is crucial that you seek legal assistance promptly. An experienced criminal defense lawyer can help you challenge the charges, gather evidence, question witnesses, and represent your interests in court. It is advisable to work closely with your attorney to develop the best defense strategy and highlight any evidence of your innocence.
Finally, I would like to emphasize that you are not alone in this difficult situation and should seek professional support. As an experienced criminal defense attorney, I am here to assist you and will do everything in my power to defend your rights and support you in your criminal proceeding.
Sincerely,
Lukas Schlüter, Criminal Defense Attorney
