We handle drug cases charged anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area such as those involving:
- Possession of marijuana, cocaine, crack, heroin, methamphetamine or other drugs
- Cultivation or manufacture of illegal drugs
- Prescription fraud or forgery involving Oxycontin, Vioxx, Darvocet or other painkillers
- Sale, distribution, conspiracy to distribute, or possession for sale of any controlled substance
The most effective strategies for the defense of drug crime charges in any given case will depend upon the circumstances of the arrest, your previous criminal history, and the quality of the evidence against you. In some cases, we can challenge the validity of the arrest or the seizure of drugs on constitutional grounds. In others, we can attack the credibility or motivations of the main witness against you. If you have no prior record and were not involved in the sale of a controlled substance, we can try to arrange pretrial diversion of the case. This could eventually result in dismissal of the case against you and a clean record.
We represent adults and juveniles on the full range of drug charges. We also handle civil or criminal asset forfeiture cases involving cash, motor vehicles or other property seized in connection with a drug crime.
