Unlawful possession of a controlled substance in California opens you up to potentially severe state and federal charges. Depending on the circumstances of the case you could be facing jail time. You will definitely want an experienced drug possession attorney in Los Angeles CA on your side. Chambers Law Firm is just such an attorney. With over 20 years of experience to his credit, he can provide superior representation for crimes involving:

  • Marijuana
  • Hashish
  • Cocaine
  • Meth
  • Heroin
  • Ecstasy
  • LSD
  • Prescription drugs (Vicodin, Codeine, Oxycontin, etc.)
  • And more

Disproving Possession Charges

Prosecutors need to prove several important points in order to establish grounds for a possession charge:

  • You had the drug on your person or in an area you had a right to control
  • You knew the drug was there
  • You knew it was a controlled substance
  • There was enough drug to be used
  • Evidence as to the above points was obtained legally

A skilled Los Angeles CA drug possession lawyer can attack any one of these points and successfully dismantle the prosecution’s case to the point where they may choose to drop the charges or offer a plea rather than proceed to trial. For example, your attorney might present evidence that police found the drugs during an illegal search of your person, vehicle, or residence, in which case they are not admissible evidence.

Possession vs Possession for Sale

Possession for sale is a much more serious crime than simple possession for personal use. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to tell the two crimes apart, as the difference is often based on circumstantial evidence that is open to interpretation, such as whether you have an unusual number of guests calling on you or a suspicious abundance of small bills in your wallet. As your Los Angeles CA drug possession attorney, Dan E. Chambers will examine all the evidence in your case closely and work hard to get charges of possession for sale reduced to possession whenever possible.

Drug Diversion Programs

If you are charged with possession for personal use and meet certain other requirements, you may be able to avoid a conviction and jail time by participating in a drug diversion program. Dan E. Chambers frequently serves as a Los Angeles CA drug possession lawyer for individuals going through drug court rather than criminal court and he can help you with this process if you qualify.
