Placer County Criminal
Defense Attorneys
Drug Crimes
Drug charges are among the most common and
serious criminal offenses in Placer, Nevada, Yuba
and Butte Counties as well as in Federal District
Court. The attorneys at The Phillips Law Offices
have been handling drug defense cases with
diligence and success for more than 20 years.
There are many avenues in which a drug case can
be successfully defended including, but not
limited to: motions to dismiss, motions to
suppress evidence, defense verdicts and
favorable plea arrangements.
The drug defense attorneys at The Phillips Law
Offices have successfully handled all types of
drug and drug-related crimes. They have
handled cases ranging from simple possession of
marijuana to manufacturing of controlled
substances. They have also handled numerous
cases involving driving offenses dealing with
illegal narcotics and paraphernalia.
Drug charges can carry very stiff sentences
including mandatory jail sentences and loss of
driving privileges. The prosecutor files charges
depending on the type of drug, the quantity,
whether the drug is possessed for personal use or
for sale, and the past criminal record of a person.
A conviction for a drug crime can potentially
effect a person for the rest of his/her life. Having
a drug offense on one’s record can greatly affect
that person’s ability to obtain a job, get into
school, and obtain a scholarship, among other
things. It can also affect one’s ability to enter
into any branch of the armed services. Finally, a
drug related offense on one’s record can affect
that person's ability to obtain citizenship in the
United States and can result in deportation. The
consequences of a conviction can result in
imprisonment in jail or prison, probation or
parole after a person is released from custody,
enormous legal fines, restitution to law
enforcement for the cost of investigation,
mandatory drug counseling, registration as a
drug offender with local law enforcement, and
the revocation of a driver's license.
It is imperative to retain an attorney at the
earliest possible time in order to ensure that the
attorney can explore all avenues available to
you. The Phillips Law Offices handle all types of
drug crimes and charges including, but not
limited to, the following:
Health & Safety Code 11350 Possession of a
Controlled Substance
Health & Safety Code 11351 Possession for
Sales,
Health & Safety Code 11352 Sales or
Transportation of a Controlled Substance
Health & Safety Code 11377 Possession of
Methamphetamine.
Health & Safety Code 11357(a) Possession of
concentrated Cannabis
Health & Safety Code 11357(b) Possession of
under an ounce of Marijuana.
Health & Safety Code 11357(c) Possession of
over one ounce of Marijuana.
Health & Safety Code 11358 Cultivation of
Marijuana.
Health & Safety Code 11359 Possession with
Intent to Sell Marijuana.
Health & Safety Code 11360Transportation
of Marijuana.
When you hire The Phillips Law Offices to
represent you in your drug case, we will always
look behind the charges to see if there are legal
motions that may be brought to have your
charges dismissed. Even if you were caught in
possession of drugs, the circumstances leading to
that charge may not have been legal. Did the
police have probable cause to search you, your
car, or your home? If not, we may be able to have
the judge throw out this illegally obtained
evidence, leading to a dismissal of charges.
In many other drug cases there is a major issue
as to who had "control" or "ownership" of the
drugs found. Even if you were found in a vehicle
where drugs may have been found the
prosecution must prove that you had "dominion
and control" over the drugs and knew the
"nature of the substance" found in the
automobile was in fact illegal narcotics.
Please feel to call The Phillips Law Offices toll
free at 1-800-978-0186 to schedule a
confidential, no charge, consultation.
