I Was Arrested For A Drug Crime. What Am I Looking At?
When you are charged with a narcotics crime in California, what happens depends on exactly what you are charged with.
As you know, prosecutors, the courts, and even the law, all want to show how tough they are against drugs. But the law is more sympathetic to those that use, or are addicted, and much less sympathetic to those caught forging prescriptions, dealing or possessing drugs for sale, transporting, or manufacturing narcotics of any kind.
A possession charge can be diverted through a treatment program. More harsh punishment for more serious crimes includes prison or jail time, loss of a job, and thousands of dollars in fines if not handled correctly. Although you probably are still dealing with the impact from your arrest, don’t let the system excessively punish you without presenting all facts about you, and assert how this might impact you. looking at all sides.
Potential Punishment for Orange County Drug cases:
Every law has a maximum (for misdemeanors, up to one year in jail, probation, and fines and fees that total $5000, and for felonies up to five years in State Prison), and a minimum (probation, and participation in a drug rehabilitation program or a drug education program). In Orange County, drug cases are sometimes reduced to another charge, which would reduce the entire sentencing range below the minimum.
However, the prosecutor can, and will, add punishment if there were any of the following:
- evidence that drugs were possessed for sale;
- sale of drugs or use of drugs on school grounds or near a school;
- manufacturing of drugs;
- transportation of drugs;
- or any priors.
We can help avoid the more severe punishment for any of the above.
Note that under California’s new Marijuana Laws, possessing marijuana for personal use is not illegal. However, cultivating or growing marijuana for-profit, warehousing or wholesaling marijuana, transporting marijuana and selling marijuana require that you obtain one of the Marijuana Dispensary Licenses and Permits or the other available State of California Cannabis Licenses.

Attorney Fees, Pricing, and Payments
The price of hiring a professional to help you fight your drug case in court varies greatly between Orange County criminal defense lawyers in the area. A flat fee is normal in this area of law. Some lawyers will charge as little as $500.00 to plead a client guilty in one court date. On the other hand, there are lawyers who value their professional services extremely highly, and you can pay $10,000.00 or more for representation.
Don’t hire attorneys on the low end of the price range. If you’re interested in pleading guilty at the first court date, you don’t need a lawyer to help with that. Most low fee lawyers are either very inexperienced, or have a high volume law practice, and are not motivated, or able, to work hard to get the best possible result for his or her clients. On the other hand, at the high end of the price range, an expensive Orange County Drug lawyer might include a jury trial, or experts, that may not be needed in your case.
