Riverside Drug Possession Defense Lawyers
Among all drug crimes committed in California, drug possession is the one that has lead to the most arrests. How a person will be charged will be determined by the amount of drugs found, the type of drugs and whether or not there was intent to sell. However, having cocaine in one's possession, whether the amount is large or small, is an automatic felony offense in California. In the case that the drug found in possession was a small amount of marijuana only to be used for personal use, then a person would likely be charged with a misdemeanor offense. At the Law Offices of Gregory H. Comings we provide experienced legal representation to individuals being accused, investigated, charged or arrested for drug possession throughout Riverside County, California.
