Los Angeles Drug Crimes Lawyer

Beverly Hills Drug Possession for Sale Defense Attorney

A more serious crime than a simple Los Angeles drug possession charge is one which involves an allegation of possession for sale. Law enforcement will often work to try to prove an individual has committed drug possession with the intent of selling or distributing the drugs they possess. They look for evidence to support the allegation that the drugs were possessed for sale when:

• A large quantity of drugs are involved
• Certain evidence is present at the scene, including:
  • Large amounts of cash
  • Baggies
  • Scales and other measuring devices
  • Pagers, cell phones and PDAs
  • Address books, appointment books or client lists
  • Weapons

It is essential to consult a qualified Los Angeles drug crimes lawyer immediately if you are facing drug possession for sale charges. These are serious felony offenses which are punishable by lengthy prison sentences. At the Law Offices of Robert M. Bernstein, we offer a free, confidential consultation wherein we will discuss your charges with you and determine the best legal strategy to defend your case.

Drug Possession for Sale Charges & Penalties in Los Angeles

The penalties for drug possession for sale may vary depending upon the type of drug and amount found in the defendant’s possession. Some penalties may include:

• State prison sentence
• Fines
• Forfeiture of assets
• Driver’s license revocation
• Registration as a narcotics offender
• Treatment and rehabilitation

As with many drug cases, possession for sale charges often come down to whether the search and seizure conducted by law enforcement was reasonable and legal. A skilled Los Angeles drug crime defense attorney will carefully review all aspects of the search and seizure in order to determine whether the defendant’s constitutional rights were violated and therefore whether the evidence acquired during that search must be suppressed from evidence.
