Los Angeles Drug Possession Lawyers

Sale ○ Manufacturing ○ Cultivation ○ Trafficking ○ Importation of Drugs

Representing Clients throughout the State of California

Drug charges are not restricted to lower-income, inner-city populations. People of all social classes are often implicated in the violation of drug laws, often resulting in charges such as narcotics possession, illegal possession of prescription drugs with intent to sell, drug trafficking, and other illicit drug offenses. Often, drug charges do not indicate a criminal state of mind. Rather, they may be symptomatic of the disease of substance addiction, which is all too common in today’s society.

Contact the Law Offices of Mark J. Werksman to schedule a confidential consultation with one of our Los Angeles drug possession lawyers if you have been charged with any narcotics offense, or if you believe you are being investigated.

We represent clients being investigated regarding, arrested for, or charged with possession, sale, manufacturing, cultivation, trafficking, or importation of any drug, including:

From Dependency to Criminal Drug Charges

Street-corner drug dealers are not the only drug charge defendants that we represent. Well-known sports figures and entertainment artists are equally prone to charges stemming from the demands of an underlying drug dependency. Health care providers and their patients often find themselves in violation of prescription medication laws when pain relief leads to psychological addiction and, ultimately, physical dependency. Even legitimate use of prescription drugs can lead an honest, law-abiding person to commit otherwise unthinkable acts.

Treatment and Rehabilitation Instead of Jail Time

If conviction seems imminent, our attorneys will explain some of the ways we can help you through diversion plea bargains. We will explore the options available to you through Proposition 36, which allows Californians convicted of their first or second nonviolent, simple drug possession offense to receive drug treatment instead of incarceration. You will learn about our access to an addiction specialist who has helped us defend many clients facing drug charges while at the same time pointing their way toward treatment and rehabilitation.
