Drug Possession Attorney in Los Angeles

Los Angeles Drug Possession Lawyer

Federal and California state laws criminalize the possession of illegal controlled substances such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, LSD, and MDMA (ecstasy), among others. The state of California is particularly harsh in its prosecution and sentencing of drug offenders as drug activity is a growing problem in the state. For many controlled substances, possession for personal use is a felony. The more serious charge, which carries the potential of much harsher sentences is possession with intent to sell which is charged when an individual is found to be in possession of large amounts of drugs and materials associated with selling drugs such as baggies, ties, small containers for storage, or large amounts of cash.
