Facing Drug Charges in California? Get a Dedicated Defense Lawyer on Your Side.
Serious Drug Offenses Need Serious Legal Defense. Don’t Let a Mistake Define Your Future.
The Stakes
If you have been arrested or are under investigation for a drug crime in California—whether for possession, transportation, or trafficking—you are facing potentially life-altering consequences. California drug laws are complex, and law enforcement often pursues these cases with zeal. As a dedicated solo practitioner, I provide the personalized attention and aggressive representation you need to protect your rights, freedom, and reputation.
Comprehensive Drug Defense
I handle a wide range of state drug offenses, from misdemeanor possession to felony distribution. I am equipped to defend you against charges involving:
Drug Possession: Simple possession of controlled substances (cocaine, heroin, meth, unprescribed pills).
Possession with Intent to Sell/Distribute: Defending against accusations that drugs were not for personal use.
Drug Trafficking, Transportation, and Sales: Felony accusations involving the movement or sale of narcotics.
Manufacturing and Cultivation: Illegal production of drugs or cultivation of marijuana outside legal limits.
Prescription Drug Crimes: Fraudulent prescriptions, "doctor shopping," or illegal sales.
Drug Conspiracy Charges: Charges arising from association with others involved in drug activity.
Unlike large firms where you might feel like just another case file, my law practice focuses on personalized, high-touch legal representation.
Direct Attorney Communication: You will work directly with me throughout your case.
Tailored Strategies: I do not use generic templates. Every case is investigated based on its unique facts.
Immediate Action: I can help you navigate the initial, crucial, and stressful stages of a drug arrest.
Proven Defense Strategies
Drug cases are not always black and white. I thoroughly analyze the evidence to identify constitutional violations and build a strong defense. Potential strategies include:
Unlawful Search and Seizure: Challenging the validity of search warrants or illegal stops by police (Fourth Amendment violations).
Lack of Possession/Knowledge: Arguing that the substances belonged to someone else or that you had no knowledge of them.
Mistaken Identity or False Accusations: Challenging informant testimony and police narratives.
Chain of Custody Issues: Questioning how evidence was collected, handled, and analyzed.
Negotiating for Diversion/Treatment: Leveraging California’s alternatives to jail, such as drug courts or rehabilitation programs, for first-time offenders.
