Defense Against Drug Possession & Intent to Sell Charges

Under Health & Safety Code 11350 (Possession of Controlled Substances) and 11351 (Possession for Sale), prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you had knowledge and control of the substance. We challenge police search warrants, vehicle stops, and wiretaps under Fourth Amendment search and seizure protections.

Diversion Programs: Proposition 36 & PC 1000

First-time non-violent drug offenders may qualify for Deferred Entry of Judgment (PC 1000) or Proposition 36 drug treatment diversion. Successful completion of these court-approved programs results in a complete dismissal of charges and a clean criminal record.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies a search as illegal in a California drug case?

If police stopped your vehicle without reasonable suspicion, searched your home without a valid warrant, or exceeded the scope of consent, the evidence can be suppressed under PC 1538.5.
