Bakersfield Drug Crime Attorney
Possession, Trafficking, Distribution, Sales, Cultivation, Manufacturing,
Furnishing
Small amounts of drugs or marijuana are low level crimes now; however these
charges can cause you to lose professional and vocational licenses. This
might include childcare, pilot, realtor, teaching credentials and other
professions. You may face additional consequences to your future employment,
career, and other opportunities. You need to hire an experienced
drug crimes lawyer in Bakersfield to fight your drug charges, no matter the circumstances of your case.
Get Help for Your Drug Charges
The severity of your charges, as well as the level of punishment you will
receive if convicted, depends upon the type of drug, the amount of drug,
the location (near schools or parks), and your previous criminal record.
These factors will all be considered in deciding the charges and consequences
you will face.
The Law Offices of Kyle J. Humphrey can help you with all types of drug
cases, including those that involve:
Possession
Possession is generally not as serious as other drug crimes. The penalties
differ depending on factors like quantity, conspiracy, location, firearms
and the type of drug possessed. Possession can be a misdemeanor or a felony.
Sales
If you are accused of selling controlled substances or illegally obtained
pharmaceutical drugs, you will be facing a serious criminal charge. Even
being found with a large amount of drugs in your possession can point
to the intent to sell or distribute, with severe penalties, often including
time spent in state prison. If you are charged with sales, you need an
experienced attorney to fight for you.
Distribution
Any time a large amount of drugs is found by the police, the charges will
be bumped up to something much more serious than mere possession. A large
amount of any illegal drug can result in being charged with intent to
distribute or sell. If it is determined that these drugs were intended
for distribution, you could be facing felony charges that can land you
in prison.
