Felony Crimes And Their Penalties

Whether an offense involves transportation into the state from another state or between counties within California, drug crimes of this type are considered felonies. Penalties range from three to nine years in state prison and thousands of dollars in fines.

Criminal courts generally assume that transportation of large amounts of controlled substances — including prescription drugs obtained illegally — implies an intention to sell. Cases involving large quantities of illegal drugs are often prosecuted as federal crimes. A strong defense strategy may include arguments that a defendant’s possession of a substance did not demonstrate intent to sell.

The Importance Of Prompt Legal Advice

If you or a loved one has been charged with drug transportation, do not wait to retain legal counsel. As career defense attorneys, we are interested in protecting your constitutional rights as the first priority, as well as preventing damaging consequences of a conviction in your life, including:

• Imprisonment
• Stiff fines
• A criminal record

A drug offense conviction on your record can make it difficult or impossible for you to follow your chosen career path. You may be unable to get a student loan. These are a couple of common negative repercussions that we work to help clients avoid at Glew & Kim.
