Drug Offenses

When you are charged with a drug offense, there are many alternative sentences that are available to you. You may qualify for Diversion, which is an excellent opportunity to get your case dismissed after you successfully complete a period of probation along with required drug treatment and testing. You may also qualify for alternative Proposition 36 sentencing, which is another way to address your case without going to jail. As a Deputy Public Defender in Mendocino County, I developed extensive experience successfully representing clients facing a range of drug charges, from under the influence, to possession, to felony transportation of a controlled substance. I am committed to the highest level of personalized representation at all times. Your free consultation involves a full discussion of your case in which we will explore all the defenses and options that are available to you and make a plan to achieve the results you want. I am committed to getting you the alternative sentencing you need and making sure you understand your options to either avoid jail or avoid a conviction.
