What Can I Expect from Drug Charge in San Diego?
Over the years penalties for possession of certain kinds of drugs, drug trafficking, and drug manufacturing have steadily increased. Only recently, through “realignment,” have judges been given more leeway to create sentences that look toward rehabilitation rather than solely toward punishment by time in prison or jail. Although the state’s medical marijuana “safe harbor” laws provide for possession and distribution of marijuana in specified ways, both the United States Attorney and the San Diego District Attorney will vigorously prosecute any possession or sales of marijuana outside of this narrow exception. Lead Attorney Jerrold Bodow can effectively keep clients in their jobs, in the military and out of custody.
For drugs other than marijuana, the prosecutions are still vigorous. Trial may be the best way to bring the case to an end. But statistics show over 90% of all cases are settled prior to trial. With diversion programs and drug court, a strong, knowledgeable attorney can help you out a “side-door” and away from a criminal record. Your smartest move is to hire an experienced trial lawyer, an expert, and knowledgeable negotiator. Take the pressure off. Call for a free interview.
We are available by phone or meeting to review your case. We will plan exactly how to proceed for your best possible outcome.
