Jay Ziemer immersed himself in representing defendants charged with all types of drug offenses. For over one year he litigated only drug offenses. During this period, he handled every type of drug charge. He argued over fifty motions to suppress evidence alleging that law enforcement violated his clients’ constitutional rights. He represented a woman who was trafficking drugs from Los Angeles to Chicago. She happened to land in Chicago at the same time when then president Bill Clinton landed there. With Secret Service buzzing all around her, she ran scared, leaving 10 kilos of marijuana vacuum packed in her bags behind. After her arrest, she faced a minimum of 20 years. With no criminal background and children in Los Angeles waiting for her, through pure determination and hard work, I was able to negotiate reduced charges and a sentence of time considered served (180 days).
I have 25 years’ experience representing people charged with crimes. However, I have one year of invaluable experience working as an Assistant Deputy Prosecutor in Vanderburgh County, which allowed me to see criminal cases from the eye of a prosecutor. As an experienced drug crime defense lawyer, I represent clients facing charges of possession or illegal drug sales of Marijuana, Methamphetamine, Cocaine or crack, Ecstasy, LSD, Mushrooms, and prescription drugs such as Lortab, Xanax, Oxycotin and other scheduled controlled substances.
