Are you aware that there could be breaks in the chain of custody of confiscated drug contraband occurring at the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) level? Are you aware that DEA chemists often perform testing on contraband simultaneously with contraband confiscated from other defendants? Are you aware that some drug tests are not performed properly and that subsequent contraband test results may not be found credible due to high volume case loads? The average chemist would not be aware of these facts and neither would a defense attorney. Why? Because the DEA is the only authorized entity performing the type of drug testing it does and DEA chemists are specially trained in the testing procedures used by the DEA. There is no other agency/entity, which monitors the DEA's performance for quality and accuracy. The only way anyone could identify errors in testing is through another DEA trained chemist. Vingram Enterprises LTD, through the expertise of a 28-year veteran of the DEA has specially developed a pre-trial procedure to provide both a challenge to the government chemist drug analysis credibility and the confiscated suspected drug chain of custody. We assist the defense attorney in developing lines of attack strategy upon government chemist analysis procedures at pre-trial, and, if necessary, trial levels. Our method is designed for the promotion of balanced advocacy in drug cases, specifically in the review of government chemist analysis. back Contact Information vingram@vingramenterprisesltd.com Or use our mailing address: VINGRAM Enterprises Ltd.
