THE CONSEQUENCES OF A POSSESSION CONVICTION

In order to be convicted of a drug possession charge, the prosecution must prove that you willfully possessed an illegal substance without a prescription. Additionally, the amount of the drug found on your person must have been enough to be sufficient for use or sale. If convicted, you may also find yourself facing additional, related charges including intent to sell, possession of paraphernalia, DUI, and others.

Depending on the severity, these charges can lead to penalties including:

• Fines
• Jail time
• Probation
• Community service hours
• Mandatory participation treatment programs

DEFENDING YOUR CHARGES IN THE ANTELOPE VALLEY

While you may feel backed into a corner after an arrest for drug possession, our drug crime attorney has the experience with and knowledge of California law to understand how to fight it. As an experienced Lancaster criminal defense lawyer, he knows that that drug charges are not always black and white and can take the time to thoroughly investigate your charges to determine an aggressive and effective defensive strategy.

There are many scenarios that can be used as defense for possession, including:

• The drugs aren't yours – simply put, you may have been unaware of the existence of the drugs, as they may have belonged to someone else who was in your company and mistakenly identified as yours. In these cases, the burden of proof lies on the prosecutor.
• Search and seizure violations – if the drugs were found through methods that violated your rights under the Fourth Amendment — rights to a lawful search and seizure prompted by probable cause – they may be inadmissible and enough to have your case dismissed.
• Arresting officer's conduct – in certain scenarios, your attorney may be able to argue that the arrest was made as a result of planted drugs or entrapment. This means that an officer pressured the defendant into committing a crime that he or she never intended to commit.
• Missing evidence – our team of legal professionals will also use the existence and accuracy of the prosecution's evidence to your advantage. We can ensure that the prosecution has the actual drugs in question, and that they have been properly and accurately tested and analyzed. Otherwise, we will argue for the case to be dismissed due to lack of evidence.
