Drug Cases

Experienced San Francisco Attorneys Handling Drug Crimes

Drug charges can range from anything from possession of a small amount of marijuana to major drug racketeering cases. Regardless, of the level of the offense it is important to work with an experienced criminal defense attorney to ensure that your rights are being protected and that all possible defenses are being explored. Please contact our law firm to schedule a free initial consultation.

Our attorneys have a combined 60 years of legal experience and focus our practice of law exclusively on criminal defense matters. We provide representation for individuals charged in California with a variety of state and federal drug crimes:

  • Possession
  • Possession with intent to sell
  • Distribution
  • Cultivation / cultivation on federal property
  • Manufacturing (including meth labs)
  • Prescription drug fraud (abuse of prescription drugs such as OxyContin)
  • Medical marijuana cases
  • Federal or state drug conspiracy
  • Gang conspiracy
  • RICO (racketeering)

Our strategy for defending against drug charges is to find out if there is a factual defense or a legal defense, such as suppression, that we can look at for reducing the charges down to a lesser offense. We will also explore whether diversion programs such as Prop 36 are a viable option for avoiding jail time.

Federal drug cases are often more serious because there are usually mandatory minimum sentences included in the federal sentencing guides for drug crimes. We work to construct a defense that takes into consider issues such as conspiracy, search and seizure issues, and if wiretapping occurred.

We work with immigrants who have been charged with drug crimes and are likely facing deportation as a result. We are experienced with working with clients on how to take steps to avoid deportation.
