San Fernando Valley Narcotics Defense Attorneys

Drug Offenses - Representing individuals who have been charged with drug offenses throughout Los Angeles and The San Fernando Valley.

If you or a loved one has been charged with a drug offense in a San Fernando Valley Courthouse (Van Nuys, San Fernando, Malibu, Sylmar) or a Los Angeles County Courthouse......you owe to yourself to call our firm and set up a free face to face consultation with one of our top attorneys.  You will be educated on how the system works in the particular courthouse you case is in and in many cases we can design a plan to avoid a conviction from going on your record!

When it comes to charges involving possession of narcotics (marijuana, cocaine, methamphetimine, PCP, heroine etc) there is a good chance we can assist you in avoiding a conviction on your criminal record.  A drug conviction can ruin a person's record and chance for future employment.  It can also destroy a person's reputation and ability to attain a higher position in their current career.  If you are charged with simple possession (for your own personal use) you should contact us immediately and set up an appointment.  This decision could help prevent a life altering consequence.

If you have been charged with possession for sales or sales of narcotics the consequences and stakes are much higher than a simple possession case.  You could very well be facing prison time and it is extremely important you contact a reputable law firm to immediately protect your freedom, reputation and rights.  We have handled thousands of narcotics cases and can be a valuable advocate on your side.  Call now and set up the free face to face consultation.  After the consultation, if you are satisfied that you want our firm to fight for you then we will work out a reasonable retainer fee so we can start protecting your interests right away!

A drug offense, or drug crime, is a criminal act involving the usage, distribution, or sale of an illegal controlled substance.  In the state of California, marijuana, LSD, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines, and unauthorized prescription medications are all considered illegal controlled substances.  Commonly committed drug offenses include:  drug possession, drug possession with intent to sell, drug trafficking, drug distribution, drug manufacturing, money laundering, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Drug Offenses and Legal Consequences

If a person is convicted of a drug crime, he/she may be sentenced with:  jail time, fines, court and legal fees, court ordered treatment programs, community service, and probation.  The length and severity of the persons sentence will depend upon the type of drug the person possessed and the amount of the drug.  The sentence will also depend upon if the person has been convicted of prior drug crimes and if the person has a prior criminal record.  Additionally, the court will consider if the person solicited to a minor or used a minor during the commission of the drug crime. We also represent minor's (juveniles) arrested for drug offenses.

If you have been charged with a drug crime in Los Angeles or San Fernando, you need to consult with a reputable drug crime attorney immediately.  A lawyer will have the forensic knowledge, investigative resources, and legal training it takes to successfully fight your drug offense charges.

Drug Charges Involving DUI

Have you been arrested for driving under the influence of drugs? If so, you were likely charged with a DUI (driving under the influence). While most people are accustom to seeing this charge associated with alcohol, prosecutors aggressively pursue individuals that were seemingly on drugs at the time of their DUI stop. Because your drug charges will be coupled with a DUI offense you will be going through the same criminal process that all other DUI arrests go through. This include the suspension of your drivers' license (through the DMV) and a separate criminal case prosecuting you for Driving Under the Influence.

If you have been charged with DUI while under the influence of drugs, contact our Los Angeles DUI attorneys today to discuss the details of your arrest and schedule a DMV hearing to help save your drivers' license. Remember, you only have 10 day from the point of your arrest to protest these charges and save your driving privileges.
