Drug Crimes in California

Drug crimes consist of simple possession, possession with intent to sell, selling or distributing illegal drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia or precursor chemicals used in meth labs, manufacturing illegal drugs, drug cultivation, and drug trafficking. Fraudulently procuring large quantities of prescription drugs is also a crime. Illegal drugs consist of marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, opiates, LSD, methamphetamines, steroids, MDMA (Ecstasy), and other controlled substances.

If you are convicted of a drug offense, you face a potential jail or prison sentence, fines, possible drug evaluation and treatment, probation, community service, and other court-ordered penalties. The penalties you may be given will depend on the nature and quantity of the drugs involved and whether your offense involved minors and prior convictions. It is in your best interests to have an experienced attorney who knows how to defend drug offense cases and who will work vigorously on your behalf to get the best possible case result. If you are a first-time offender, your Irvine drug crime attorney may be able to get you into a diversionary program which will keep you out of jail and possibly result in the charges against you being dismissed.
