We represent adults, college students, and juveniles facing any drug charges in Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, or Orange counties:

• Possession of marijuana or drug paraphernalia
• Possession of cocaine, meth, heroin, Ecstasy, or other controlled substances
• Prescription fraud (possession of prescription narcotics)
• Possession with intent to distribute (i.e., large quantities)
• Cultivation or manufacture of drugs
• Trafficking or importing

Most drug crimes are felony offenses, many carrying mandatory minimum sentences for conviction. Prison sentences start at sixteen months and rise sharply for high-level and repeat offenses. In fact, drug charges can count as a third strike under California's "Three Strikes" legislation. We aim to avoid prison time or jail time, particularly for first-time offenders, by getting charges dismissed or suspended, and by negotiating pleas to lower offenses.

Drug Crime Defense by a Former Prosecutor

Before entering private practice, I served as a district attorney for Riverside County. This experience, combined with 29 years of drug crimes defense in private practice, enables me to pick apart the prosecution's case to strike the most favorable deal for my clients.

In drug crime defense — at trial or in pre-trial negotiations — I challenge illegal search and seizure, including lack of probable cause for traffic stops, and have drug evidence re-analyzed for errors in processing or identification. We seek to show that larger quantities were for personal use and not intended for sale. Every strategy is employed to avoid or reduce the life-altering consequences of a drug conviction.
