Orange County Drug Distribution Attorney

Drug Distribution Defense Lawyer in Orange County

As an Orange County criminal defense lawyer with over 25 years of experience, I understand the true consequences of a drug distribution conviction under California law. Most often charged as a felony, the penalties for a drug distribution charge may result in a state prison sentence of up to 5 years. Specific sentencing, however, will depend upon the actual amount of drugs as well as what type of drug was being distributed.

Even a first drug distribution charge is extremely serious. This charge is more severe than a simple drug possession charge, and certain "enhancement" crimes may also be charged, resulting in a doubled or even tripled prison sentence. This includes drug distribution to persons under 21 years of age and drug distribution near a school or at a school.

Drug Distribution & Possession For Sale

The sale or distribution of illegal drugs, controlled substances or even prescription drugs is a criminal offense in California. At times, an individual may be charged with drug distribution or a related offense even when he/she was not observed actually selling or distributing the drugs. If an individual is in possession of large quantities of controlled substances, or certain items which are used in drug dealing, this may result in a possession for sale charge.

As an Orange County drug crimes lawyer, I have experience in defending clients who are facing simple drug distribution charges, as well as drug possession with the intent to distribute.
