San Diego Drug Crimes Lawyer
Penalties for a Second or Subsequent Offense
If you have recently been arrested for your second or subsequent drug offense, you realize that this is no laughing matter - your future, reputation, freedom and job are all on the line. For the first offense, you may have been let off easy with an alternative sentencing program such as rehabilitation and drug awareness classes. You realize, though, that you may not be as lucky this time around. As such, talking to a legal team that is capable of defending your rights and advocating your future is absolutely essential.
When facing your second, third or possibly even fourth drug crime, the prosecution will be pushing for maximum or even enhanced penalties. The following factors will be taken into consideration when making the decision as to the penalties of the offense:
- The amount of drugs in your possession
- If the activity took place near or on school grounds
- If the activity involved a minor
- The type of drug that has been found in your possession
If a search and seizure has led to your arrest, now is the time to get the help that your case deserves. Call our San Diego drug crime attorney immediately to begin working on your case. Having a case of this type of potency can spoil your entire future, including your financial standing and relationships with those around you.
