Drug Crime Defense - How I Can Help

As an experienced drug crime defense lawyer, I thoroughly investigate and analyze each case. I have urine samples and blood samples retested by an independent lab to ensure that the police's equipment was working correctly and that the sample was not tampered with.

I also ensure that my client's rights are protected. I examine the arrest to identify constitutional violations such as an insufficient Miranda Rights warning. I evaluate evidence to determine if it was obtained in violation of California's search and seizure law, and, if so, I will strive to have all illegally obtained evidence suppressed.

I understand the importance of turning one's life around after a drug arrest. Therefore, I am a firm believer in alternative sentencing, such as drug treatment, and I work aggressively with the District Attorney to negotiate a reduced or an alternative sentence.

1st Time Offenders

As an experienced Monterey drug possession charge attorney, I investigate eligibility for drug treatment programs. Often, first time offenders are eligible for a drug treatment program. Successful completion of an 18-month drug treatment program avoids a criminal conviction. This exceptional option allows recovery from a drug addiction while avoiding incarceration.
