Drug Offenses

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.
