What You Need to Know About Drug Charges

In California, drug offenses are serious, and only experienced California drug charge lawyers should be trusted to give you the defense you need. Most drug charges are felonies. The exception is possession of less than an ounce of marijuana a misdemeanor. Penalties depend on which illegal drug is involved, how much you have, and whether your intent is to sell it or use it.

For some drug charges, many offenders avoid jail entirely. Under Proposition 36, for example, non-violent drug offenders get probation and a drug treatment program instead of jail time. Once you complete the drug treatment program successfully, your conviction is erased from your record, and you are not considered a registered drug offender.

For those facing drug possession charges, our lawyers can help you get in this program instead of jail time. Whatever Los Angeles drug offenses you may be facing, the defense attorneys of our firm will work to have the charge reduced to possession, and then get clients in the deferred drug program set up by Prop 36.
