Los Angeles and Orange County Drug Crimes Lawyers

Experienced Orange County and Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorneys

Drug crimes are serious criminal offenses that seem to be getting more and more attention from law enforcement officers, courts, and the media. If you have been accused of or are under investigation for a drug-related crime, a criminal defense attorney is needed not only to defend your case but to protect your rights from the onset.

Hiring a lawyer who is experienced in defending drug crimes may also help to put an end to an investigation or ensure your case never goes to trial. Not only do drug crimes carry heavy sentences (fines, prison time, and more) but they can permanently damage your reputation and make it hard for you to get loans or find employment.

Orange County and Los Angeles Drug Crimes Defense Lawyers

The drug crimes defense attorneys at El Dabe are long-time California residents who have experience and are familiar with California’s drug crime laws and penalties. We offer a free consultation and case evaluation to those accused of Los Angeles or Orange County drug crimes. We believe in giving our clients clear and sound advice to help them through their case and can think outside the box in terms of alternative sentencing and proving your innocence.

Drug crimes can include manufacturing, cultivation, possession, distribution, transportation, and trafficking of illegal substances and drug paraphernalia. This includes not only well-known street drugs such as marijuana but controlled substances such as heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines, as well as illegal prescription drugs.

Sentencing for a drug crime will depend upon a number of factors:

• The type and amount of drug
• Prior drug arrests and convictions
• Whether violence was involved
• Whether minors were involved
• Whether possession was for personal use or with the intent to distribute

Building a case in your defense if you’re accused of a drug crime is what our attorneys are good at – it’s what we do. Often a good defense in a drug case is whether your rights were violated during a “search and seizure” or similar operation conducted by law enforcement officers. Did the officers actually have the authority and reasonable cause to search your person or property? Our attorneys may be able to use this as a basis for your defense.
