San Jose Drug Crime Defense Lawyer
California & Federal Laws Impose Harsh Penalties for Drug Crimes
California criminal courts understand that many people facing drug crime allegations are dealing with addiction – not career criminals – which is why Attorney Nakano can help show the prosecution, judge, or jury that punishing you isn’t the route to take.
“Drug crimes” include a wide swath of offenses and potential combinations thereof, such as:
- Drug possession
- Drug possession with intent to distribute
- Drug dealing (Smaller-scale distribution of drugs)
- Drug trafficking (Larger-scale sale, transportation, and/or import of drugs in substantial amounts)
- Possession of drug paraphernalia (i.e. pipes, bongs, rolling materials, syringes, etc.)
- Cultivation
- Conspiracy to commit any of the above drug crimes
Regardless of the type of drug involved, most drug offenses could yield severe consequences, such as:
- Years in jail or prison (many drug offenses come with mandatory prison sentencing)
- Thousands of dollars in fines
- Mandatory community service
- Probation
- Required participation in programs designed to curb drug use and deter future drug-related activity
- Unpleasant secondary consequences, such as job loss, reputational damage, and difficulty obtaining financing for important purchases, such as homes and automobiles
