Drug Arrests in Nebraska

This includes Interstate 80 traffic stops and drug dog searches involving the transportation of legally purchased cannabis from Colorado, as well as cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin charges.

Remember, while it might not seem like it at the moment, you are innocent until proven guilty. If you were a victim of illegal search and seizure by police or your rights were violated in any capacity, Attorney Tom Olsen will pursue a full dismissal of all charges. Otherwise, he will negotiate with prosecutors for reduced charges and National Safety Council, Nebraska Diversion Program eligibility for first-time drug offenders.

Out-of-State Residents Charged with Drug Offenses

For individuals from outside Nebraska arrested on drug charges, Attorney Tom Olsen works to secure bond terms that allow them to return home. He then asks the court to waive that person's appearance at their initial hearing so he can appear for them and enter a plea. Attorney Olsen strives to limit court appearances until the final stage, typically for either a dismissal due to police illegality or a plea deal.

Among Attorney Olsen's goals in possession cases is to keep them in county court. This is accomplished by bumping a charge down to a misdemeanor through negotiations with prosecutors, most of whom know Attorney Olsen and his reputation.

Do not worry about whether being an out-of-state resident will affect your case. Attorney Olsen has achieved favorable outcomes for clients arrested in Nebraska on narcotics charges from every area in the continental U.S.
