The city of Los Angeles has seen its fair share of drug crimes across the city. If you are presently facing drug possession charges – it's extremely important that you retain the services of a highly experienced Los Angeles criminal defense attorney. Whether you have been arrested for cocaine possession, methamphetamines, or marijuana, don't talk to the police. You have the right to protect your future and your freedom by asking for a drug defense lawyer.
Drug Charges are Serious
As Los Angeles fights its war on drugs, you don't want to have a weak defense when all eyes are on you. In the state of California, most drug possession charges are prosecuted as felonies, with the exception of marijuana possession of less than an ounce.
The drug penalties, for violations of the California Health and Safety Code, will largely depend on which drug was involved, how much you had, and whether or not you intended to sell the drugs to other people, or keep them for personal use. For example, possession of drugs such as meth or heroin can be punishable by up to 3 years in state prison, whereas a defendant will most likely face lesser penalties for marijuana possession.
