The defense of a drug charge in Lincoln, Nebraska requires experience in a very specialized field.  In addition to being well versed in evidentiary and criminal law, a great Nebraska drug defense attorney must understand the rationale behind the stop and seizure of the drugs.  This includes evaluating law enforcement stops of your vehicle by the Lincoln Police Department, Lancaster County Sheriff, Nebraska State Patrol or other Sheriffs along Interstate 80.

The Nebraska State Patrol heavily patrols and stops vehicles along the I-80 corridor across Nebraska.  Many of the drug stops in Nebraska by the Sheriffs or State Patrol are made based on the results of a dog sniff.  We contest canine sniff stops by challenging the basis of the stop and the probable cause to search.
