San Jose Drug Crimes Defense Attorney

Northern California Criminal Defense Lawyer

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.However, if you 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 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.
