Drug Offenses

The penalties for drug crime convictions can be severe. Extraordinarily long jail sentences are commonplace. Even seemingly minor drug crimes can result in serious penalties, and in the event of a second or subsequent conviction, it only makes matters worse. Many people are also not aware that a drug conviction can have immigration consequences as well. Even if you do not serve any jail time, you will not be allowed to enter the United States if you have been convicted of a drug offense.

The Law Office of Earl Robertson III provides skilled criminal defense for every client in all manner of drug charges. We represent clients throughout the Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego counties. As a former prosecutor for the State of California, Earl Robertson III has a unique perspective on how to best approach defense strategies for these types of cases.

 

Defense Against A Range of Drug Crime Charges

Our law office defends clients against a wide spectrum of drug crime charges ranging from simple possession to more serious drug offenses such as sale and distribution. The list of charges we routinely defend includes:

  • Drug possession

  • Possession for the purpose of sale or distribution

  • Prescription drugs crimes, including the trafficking of Oxycontin (oxycodone), Fentanyl and other controlled substances

  • Possession or sale/distribution of Ecstasy and other recreational drugs

Keeping Your Record Clear

One of the most important aspects of our representation involves keeping our clients’ criminal records clear. When handled correctly, we can often make the best of a bad situation and minimize the long-term damage to our clients’ permanent records. Whenever appropriate, we seek alternatives to incarceration, such as diversionary or drug treatment programs to assist in rehabilitation for treatment and recovery.

In the courtroom, we often defend our clients on the basis of issues related to search and seizure. The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution protects individuals from unlawful government search and seizure. We regularly challenge search warrants and police actions on the merits of this freedom to protect our clients’ rights to be free of a warrant-less or improperly conducted search and seizure.
