Riverside Drug Crimes Lawyer
California has enacted numerous laws that criminalize the illegal possession, sell, manufacture and use of controlled substances. The penalties for these types of crimes vary, but can include, fines, orders to pay restitution to an alleged victim, restrictive probation terms, court-ordered classes, and can result in significant time behind bars.
For each of these types of crimes, there are a number of possible legal defenses or mitigating factors that can be presented. When properly presented, these legal defenses and/or mitigating factors can sometimes lead to a charge being reduced to a less severe charge, or a more lenient sentence being imposed. In some circumstances, the charges may be dropped all together.
Below you will find a list of the more common drug-related crimes, definitions of each crime and a link to where the definition can be found (the appropriate California Code section), along with the severity and potential maximum exposure of each crime.
