Omaha Cocaine Lawyer in Nebraska

Attorney for Powder Cocaine and Crack Cocaine Charges in Douglas County

Cocaine, an addictive narcotic derived from the South American coca plant, has been a major target of The War on Drugs since the late 1970s. Whether snorted, smoked, or injected, cocaine's potential for overdose and death puts it among Schedule I substances like methamphetamine and heroin. Charges for cocaine possession (including with intent to distribute), drug manufacturing, or drug trafficking can result in substantial incarceration and fines.

Cocaine Defense Strategies

Drug arrests typically begin with a simple traffic stop that leads to a vehicle search by a police officer who subjectively decides there is something suspicious. A drug dog is often brought to the scene to determine if a vehicle contains hidden drugs.

Attorney Tom Olsen vehemently defends clients who are victims of illegal search and seizure by law enforcement. He has helped individuals in numerous states charged with everything from simple possession to intent to deliver hundreds of pounds of marijuana. When your future is on the line, he will fight for dropped or reduced charges, or a second chance under the National Safety Council, Nebraska's Diversion Program.
