Olathe Drug Crimes Lawyer
Protecting Your Rights Against Kansas Drug Charges
If you’ve been arrested for a drug crime in Olathe or Johnson County, you’re facing serious penalties under Kansas law. Even minor possession can mean jail time, steep fines, and a criminal record that follows you for life.
At Duma Law Offices, led by Attorney Michael C. Duma, we understand the stakes — and we’re committed to defending your rights, freedom, and future.
Comprehensive Defense for Kansas Drug Charges
Michael Duma provides aggressive and skilled representation for all Kansas drug-related offenses, including:
- Drug Possession — Marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, LSD, fentanyl, and prescription medications
- Possession with Intent to Distribute
- Drug Trafficking and Manufacturing
- Prescription Drug Crimes — Fraud, forgery, and unlawful possession
- Paraphernalia Possession
- Distribution Near a School Zone
- Federal Drug Charges
Each case receives Michael’s personal attention and hands-on defense. He thoroughly investigates every aspect, challenges questionable evidence, and works to secure the best possible outcome.
Understanding Kansas Drug Laws
Kansas imposes strict penalties for drug offenses, and laws can vary by substance and circumstances. Key factors include:
- Type and quantity of the controlled substance
- Intent (use vs. sale or distribution)
- Location (school zones or public areas may enhance penalties)
- Criminal history of the accused
- Presence of weapons or minors
Kansas classifies controlled substances from Schedule I to V, with Schedule I (like heroin or LSD) carrying the harshest punishments.
Even possession of marijuana remains illegal in Kansas, despite legalization in nearby states, and can result in jail time and fines.
Strategic Defense from a Former Prosecutor
As a former prosecutor, Michael C. Duma knows how the State of Kansas builds drug cases — and how to dismantle them. He uses that insight to craft strong, strategic defenses by:
- Challenging illegal searches and seizures (violations of your Fourth Amendment rights)
- Questioning probable cause for stops or arrests
- Examining search warrants and police reports for errors
- Disputing lab results or the chain of custody
- Negotiating plea reductions or diversion programs
- Taking your case to trial when justice requires it
Alternative Sentencing & Diversion Programs
If you’re a first-time offender or facing a low-level drug charge, you may qualify for a diversion program or treatment-based alternative sentencing. These programs can help you avoid a conviction and clear your record after successful completion.
Michael Duma will guide you through your options and advocate for your eligibility.
