Drug charges in California cover a wide range of conduct, from simple possession to transportation and sale. How a case is filed often depends on the substance involved, the quantity, and what officers believed you intended to do with it. Many cases also turn on whether the search that produced the evidence was lawful in the first place.

Some drug cases qualify for diversion or treatment programs that can resolve the matter without a conviction. If you are facing drug charges in Alameda, a Alameda drug lawyer can review how your case was built and explain the options realistically available to you.
