Description: Maricopa County Superior Court, State v. Mr. P.E.
Our client, Mr. P. E., was arrested in Arizona and charged with multiple drug offenses after being observed accused of transporting large quantities of dangerous drugs and narcotics. Despite the severity of the allegations and the amount of drugs involved, the experienced drug crime defense attorneys at Castillo Laws conducted a thorough investigation, sent a deviation request, and personally met with the Prosecutor and law enforcement agent. Through strategic negotiations, our team showed Mr. P.E.’s limited role in the alleged drug trafficking activity, leading the State to reduce the charges. Instead of facing a much harsher penalty, Mr. P.E. was offered a plea to 1 to 2 years in prison. At sentencing, the Judge agreed to impose only 1 1 year, and granted credit for 323 days already served, significantly reducing his time in custody.
