Marin County Drug Charges Defense Lawyers

California Drug Possession Defense Attorneys

aw enforcement is particularly aggressive in its efforts to combat illegal drug use. As a consequence, the penalties are significant if you are convicted on a state or federal drug crime. It is important to have an experienced and knowledgeable defense attorney to protect your rights and get the best possible result.

At the San Rafael law firm, Critchlow Diskint Rhine & Pirelli, our lawyers have decades of criminal defense experience, defending clients against state and federal misdemeanor and felony charges. We are known as aggressive attorneys, seeking acquittals, reduced charges, dismissals and alternate penalties. If a client is in jail, we aggressively fight for a bail reduction or a release on O.R. (own recognizance) or seek to have bail reduced so they can be freed before trial.

Examples of Drug Charges

Our lawyers defend clients against all state and federal drug charges, including possession, sale or distribution of:

• Heroin
• Marijuana
• Cocaine
• Methamphetamine
• Ecstasy
• LSD
• OxyContin and other prescription drugs

We also take cases involving illegal marijuana paraphernalia or cultivation, manufacture of methamphetamine, and prescription drug charges for fraudulent possession of medications such as Vicodin, Xanax, and Ambien.

Whatever the nature of the charges, the type of drug or the level of the offense, our lawyers will determine whether or not law enforcement violated your Constitutional rights when investigating or arresting you. We will find out whether the charges against you are based on legally obtained evidence. We will advocate for treatment if you have an addiction or substance abuse problem; we will also demand that an addiction assessment be conducted. In short, we fight for you and your future.

If you are involved in a family law matter, such as custody proceeding, or have an uncertain immigration status, the consequences of drug conviction can be especially serious. Clients of our firm can be assured that our attorneys will do everything possible to protect you against unfavorable collateral damage.
