Medical Marijuana Attorney
Because of California's progressive and ever-changing drug laws, it's of utmost importance to understand the specifics and nuances of the laws to protect your rights. My goal is to reach the best possible outcome for you based on the circumstances of your case.
According to California marijuana laws, if you are found to possess less than an ounce of marijuana, the charge is equivalent to a traffic ticket, meaning no jail but a fine only. If, however, you are found with more than an ounce, the playing field changes: The charge escalates to a misdemeanor or a felony based on circumstances.
Serious Drug Distribution Charge Attorney
The field shifts dramatically if you face charges involving more serious drugs. I have dealt with drug possession, drug possession for sale and drug sales cases. Normally these charges are filed as felonies and can lead to a state prison sentence. Fortunately there are options other than state prison. Thus it is extremely important to contact an experienced attorney to prepare a defense to the charges. I have been successful in many cases to have my clients diverted into drug treatment programs and ultimately have the charges dismissed. Through negotiations I have had more serious charges reduced and limited the consequences.
A conviction for being under the influence of a controlled substances has a mandatory 90-day county jail sentence if convicted. In such cases, negotiating skills are very important to defend such cases or to negotiate to a lesser charge that does not have such a draconian sentence.
