Defending San Diego County Drug Charges

You need a professional to protect your constitutional rights and represent your side of the story inside and outside of the courtroom.

Drug distribution is a drug crime that involves selling or otherwise distributing illegal narcotics or prescription drugs to others. A person may face "possession with intent" charges even if not caught in the act of selling drugs, if he or she has a large quantity of drugs in his or her possession or has drug paraphernalia that may indicate the intent to sell or distribute. Drug distribution is a more serious charge than simple drug possession, and the penalties upon a conviction will be enhanced. Most drug distribution offenses will be charged as felonies under California law.

Possession with the Intent to Distribute/Sell

When law enforcement makes an arrest for drug possession, they will collect and process all the evidence at the scene. They will take special note of any items that may indicate a person was distributing or had the intent to distribute drugs, such as baggies, measuring scales, large amounts of cash, client lists or address books, weapons, and more. In California, even the possession of marijuana with the intent to sell or distribute is a felony offense, punishable by a state prison sentence.
