If you've been charged with a drug crime under California Law it is important you understand that there are many alternative sentencing that are available which can avoid incarceration or prison time.

If this is a first time offence and you have been charged with possession of a controlled substance you may be eligible for the diversion program. The diversion program is a program that allows you to complete a short 3 month drug rehabilitation program. Once you have completed that drug rehabilitation program if you stay out of trouble with the law, have no further arrests for a 12 month period all charges can be dismissed and you will have no criminal conviction on your record.

If you've had multiple prior drug convictions there are other alternative sentencing available to you. There is proposition 36 which enables even many time drug recidivism to go inside some types of residential rehabilitation program. If you complete this rehabilitation program you may still avoid incarceration or prison time on your drug case. Call my offices for a consultation to see what we can do for you.
