San Jose Drug Crime Attorney

Protecting the Rights of the Accused

California drug offenses can result in a felony or a misdemeanor charge. Drug charges are not taken lightly and a first offense alone can result in a lengthy jail sentence. If you, however, do not have a prior criminal record, there may be alternatives to serving jail time or having a mark put on your record.  By hiring an experienced San Jose criminal defense lawyer, we can tell if you may qualify for drug diversion or “drug court.” Drug diversion programs allow someone accused of a minor drug offense to be considered for what is called "alternative disposition" in their case. If approved for a drug program you can receive treatment instead of jail time.

If you have been accused of a drug charge in San Jose, such as possession, our defense attorneys know the stress and strain that this can cause to you and your family. You must contact an San Jose drug crimes attorney that understands and will fight for your rights.  At the Law Offices of Thomas F. Mueller, we have the knowledge and expertise necessary to defend your case. Founding attorney Thomas F. Mueller has almost 40 years of legal experience and is a drug crimes defense expert; you can be confident that we will be relentless in our efforts to protect you.

Understanding Drug Crimes and California’s Three Strikes Law

Under California's Three Strikes Law, if you have two prior "strikes" (convictions), you may be facing 25 years to life as a possible sentence if you are prosecuted for a new drug offense. You simply cannot risk this. San Jose drug attorney Thomas F. Mueller understands the severity of your situation and is ready to help defend your drug crimes charge, no matter if he is helping to reduce your sentence or getting the charges dropped altogether.
