Drug Cultivation Defense Attorney in Orange County
Drug cultivation is a felony offense in California. If you have been arrested for or charged with drug cultivation in Orange County, you may face a state prison sentence of up to 3 years, along with other penalties.
As an Orange County drug crimes attorney, I have personally handled numerous cases involving drug cultivation. I have seen the potential sentencing that a client may face, and I have developed successful strategies to help my client avoid these penalties. For instance, many drug cultivation cases may come down to the question of whether a search and seizure was entirely legal. If my clients rights were violated by an illegal search of their property or person, I may be able to use this to have important evidence suppressed and therefore secure an acquittal or dropped charges.
Orange County Drug Cultivation Lawyer
My name is Barney B. Gibbs, and I am an Orange County criminal defense lawyer. I have personally handled over 2,000 cases and am committed to helping my clients reach the best possible outcome for their drug cultivation cases.
Drug cultivation is the act of growing, planting or caring for marijuana, or any plants or seeds which are used to make illegal drugs. In order for the State to secure a guilty verdict in court, the prosecuting attorney must prove:
- You planted the marijuana / cannabis seeds
- You knew it was marijuana
Drug Cultivation and Medical Marijuana
Drug cultivation, because it involves marijuana, brings up the issue of medical marijuana. California state law has approved the use of marijuana for certain medical reasons, and thus it may be that a person was growing marijuana for these purposes. This is simply another factor which I, as a defense lawyer, would take into account.
