Los Angeles Drug Crimes Lawyer
Beverly Hills Drug Sale/Distribution Defense Attorney
Drug sale and drug distribution are serious criminal offenses and are harshly prosecuted in Los Angeles County and throughout California state courts. The sale or distribution of controlled substances are felony offenses which may result in a lengthy prison sentence, the potential sentence depends upon the type of drug and the amount. Further, if an individual has prior drug convictions the penalties may be enhanced.
Los Angeles criminal attorney Robert M. Bernstein's practice is devoted exclusively to criminal defense. As a former prosecutor, he has unique experience and knowledge to help craft the most aggressive and effective defense strategy when dealing with drug sale and distribution charges. Investigation, expert witnesses and pre-trial motions are some of the key weapons attorney Bernstein uses in defense of his clients' cases. A thorough investigation of all aspects of a drug sale/distribution case may reveal an unreasonable search and seizure in violation of the constitution, or physical evidence which proves the client’s innocence. An expert witness may be able to testify that forensic evidence does not point to the client. The right pre-trial motions may result in the suppression of important evidence which would have played a crucial role in the prosecution’s case and result in a dismissal of all charges.
