Orange County, California, Drug Charge Defense Lawyers

At Criminal Defense Team, our team of attorneys bring over 27 years of collective criminal defense experience to each and every case. Our lawyers know when prosecutors have made mistakes in investigating your case, and how your background and record can lead to lighter sentencing or dismissal. We are highly-skilled in all aspects of drug charges and will fight to protect your rights.

• Drug Possession and Under the Influence: If you have been accused of possessing drugs without a prescription, or possessing illegal drugs, we can help you assess your legal options. Depending upon the circumstances, you may be charged with either a misdemeanor or a felony. We will put forth our best efforts to have the charges reduced or be dismissed.

We can also fight driving under the influence, disorderly conduct, and public intoxication charges by utilizing such defenses as lack of probable cause by the police to stop and search you, failure of the arresting officer to comply with rules while testing you, looking for any mistakes in testing the DNA sample provided and/or establishing other viable defenses. In some cases, treatment programs can present a viable alternative to fines and incarceration.  We are familiar with local programs and recommend one that would be acceptable to the court and the prosecutors.

• Drug Sales and Transportation: The circumstances surrounding charges of drug sales and/or transportation can greatly affect the degree of punishment you are facing if convicted. While possession of multiple cell phones, "pay owe sheets", alleged drug paraphernalia, large drug quantities found in a car, large amounts of money found with drugs, and drugs found separated into units (baggies) do not necessarily imply drug sales, transportation, or importation, the State will go to great lengths to rely on these such evidence if possible. We will work to demonstrate to the judge or jury that the charges against you are unfounded and work to have your case dismissed or your sentence decreased.
  
  
• Drug Manufacturing and Cultivation: California takes drug manufacturing and cultivation very seriously. As such, it is very important to be represented by an experienced attorney who has in-depth knowledge of California's complex drug laws. Did the police have the right to enter your home? Did they have a warrant? Was there probable cause? Was an unreliable informant involved? We know how to fight your drug manufacturing and cultivation charges.
