Drug Charges Defense in the South Twin Cities
A criminal drug conviction can drain your financial resources, damage your reputation, and irreparably harm your work and home life. Depending on the severity of your conviction, you could lose your job and damage your employment prospects for years into the future.
I am Laura Kelly Valentine, a defense lawyer practicing in Burnsville, Minnesota. For years, I have successfully defended clients accused of possession, use, sale, manufacture, cultivation, distribution and trafficking of Schedule I and Schedule II drugs, as well as crimes allegedly committed while under the influence of drugs.
Many of my clients live and work "south of the river" in the Twin Cities' southern suburbs. If you have a question about a criminal arrest, call me today at 952-236-4078 or 866-929-3068 toll free.

Is Ambien Taking You for a Ride? | Burnsville Drug Crimes Attorney
Many drug-related arrests involve people who have gotten behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. While I defend clients accused of DWI or driving under the influence of illegal drugs, I also represented clients who have unwittingly committed traffic offenses or serious crimes while under the influence of sleep aids such as Ambien.
Likewise, I represent people who have been arrested while having adverse reactions to medications or after having taken prescription drugs that can alter consciousness, inhibit memory or lead to unconscious actions.
A police officer might have assumed you were drunk or on drugs, but if I can prove the effects of a legal or prescribed medicine caused the events leading to your arrest, you may be able to avoid being charged, convicted or punished for something that wasn't your fault.
