A drug charge carries profound consequences that extend well beyond fines or imprisonment, often permanently altering family dynamics, social standing, and prospects.

With over 42 years of experience in the NSW justice system, Paul Wiggins provides the steady, senior-level advocacy you need to protect your future.

Strategic Defence for all Drug Offences in Sydney

We provide expert representation across the full spectrum of drug-related charges in New South Wales:

• Drug possession: Even “minor” possession charges carry the risk of a permanent criminal record. We focus on securing the best possible outcome in your circumstances to protect your travel and employment prospects.
• Equipment possession: Possession of equipment for the administration of prohibited drugs, i.e., sale, supply and display of water pipes and ice pipes.
• Supply and deemed supply: If you are found with a “trafficable quantity”, the law assumes an intent to supply.
• Commercial and large commercial quantity: Including illegally importing, aiding, abetting, counselling, procuring, soliciting or inciting the commission of a drug offence. These high-stakes matters require sophisticated analysis of surveillance, phone intercepts, and financial records.
• Cultivation and manufacture: Cultivating a prohibited plant, manufacturing or producing certain prohibited substances. From backyard setups to complex laboratory allegations, we scrutinise police search warrants and “chain of custody” evidence to identify any potential procedural errors.
