Our experienced drug lawyers can thoroughly investigate your case and find out if there are any grounds for getting your case thrown out.

What You Need to Know About Drug Charges

In Los Angeles, drug offenses are serious, and only experienced drug charge lawyers should be trusted to give you the defense you need. Most drug charges are felonies.  Only possession of less than an ounce of marijuana is a misdemeanor. Drug penalties, for violations of the California Health and Safety Code, depend on which illegal drug is involved, such as meth, cocaine, heroin, marijuana etc. and how much you have, and whether you possessed drugs for personal use or you had possession for sales of drugs.

Drug Diversion - Proposition 36 and PC 1000

For some drug charges, many offenders avoid jail entirely. Under Proposition 36 or PC 1000 drug diversion, some non-violent drug offenders get probation and a drug treatment program instead of jail time. Once you complete the drug treatment program successfully, your drug charges conviction is erased from your record, and you are not considered a registered drug offender.

For those facing drug possession charges of meth or other drugs, our lawyers may get you into a Prop 36 or PC 1000 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 or PC 1000.
