If you or someone you know has been arrested or is under investigation for any type of drug crime in San Diego County, it is crucial that you consult an attorney as soon as possible.

You cannot give up hope in the face of even the most serious drug charges. Even if law enforcement has gathered extensive evidence of the crime or if there is an informant or witness ready to testify against you, an experienced attorney can represent your interests and protect your rights under the U.S. Constitution in order to utilize the legal system in your favor. You may have been the unsuspecting victim of an unlawful search and seizure, and this may be grounds to have key evidence excluded from trial.

Drug Possession
Drug possession is one of the most commonly charged drug crimes in San Diego and throughout the U.S. This offense involves the unlawful possession of a controlled substance, which may include an illegal narcotic such as heroin or a prescription drug such as Vicodin. If a person without a valid prescription is found to be in possession of a prescription drug, or if a person is found to be in possession of any illegal controlled substance, he or she may face criminal charges. The severity of charges for drug possession will vary depending on the type and amount of drug. For example, marijuana possession may be charged as a misdemeanor, whereas possession of any amount of ecstasy may be charged as a felony. In some situations, a defendant may face more serious charges of possession with intent, which involves a person who is in possession of a drug with the intent to sell or distribute it.
