Drug possession, drug sales, drug transportation, and drug use charges can negatively affect your life. Depending on the specific charges, you could be facing mandatory jail or prison time, asset forfeiture, large fines, rehabilitation programs, and more. The Law Office of Evan George can help you fight your drug case.
I will investigate whether the police followed the California and United States Constitution rules for search and seizure. I will look to see if there are violations of entrapment laws, did the police use unreliable informants, did they mislead the judge in getting the search warrant, did the police lie, and was there actually proof of possession of the drugs. If you are charged with simple possession, then you may be eligible for drug treatment programs. For your first offense, you may be eligible for Deferred Entry of Judgment. For future offenses you may still be eligible for Proposition 36, a more intense drug treatment program, or drug court. If you successfully complete drug court or deferred entry of judgment, then your case is generally dismissed.
If you are charged with drug sales, manufacturing, transportation, cultivation or more serious drug related offenses, then the penalties can include prison and forfeiture of your assets. I will fight to get the charges dismissed, reduced to simple possession, or an acquittal at trial. I realize that a sales charge can be devastating to your life and negatively impact your future for years to come. You need an advocate that will fight for you and who understands California drug laws and the Constitutional rules of search and seizure. I can help.
