Riverside Drug Possession Defense Lawyers
A conviction for drug possession will leave a mark on your record that may make it difficult to get a job or get into the school of your choice. Perhaps the charge is based on a rather minor case of marijuana possession. Nevertheless, without an attorney to help keep you navigate the system and pursue reduced charges or minimized sentencing, your chances of suffering severe consequences increase.
At the law firm of Harmon & Harmon, we provide clients with legal assistance aimed at mitigating the harsh penalties that can keep you from moving forward. To arrange a free initial consultation with either Steven or Chris Harmon, contact us today.
Drug Possession Assistance
Our drug possession defense practice is primarily centered on adults who have been found carrying such illegal substances as meth, marijuana, steroids, cocaine or ecstasy. Charges are often brought when an individual is stopped for a traffic violation or for suspicious behavior and drugs are found in their possession. If you have been arrested on a drug possession charge, your best initial step is to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney.
Diversion Programs
At Harmon & Harmon, we understand the effect a conviction for drug possession can have on your future. We work with clients charged for the first time, as well as those who face repeat drug charges, to find alternatives to harsh sentences. If you have been charged for the first time, you may be able to go through a drug diversion program (PC1000). This is an outpatient drug counseling program. Once completed you can have your drug charge struck from your record. Under Proposition 36, if you go through a treatment program such as Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) in Riverside County, you can emerge with a clear criminal record.
Getting the legal assistance you need right away in your drug crimes charge is critical to the outcome of your case. If you are living in Riverside or the surrounding area and have been charged with a crime such as drug possession, we invite you to contact the firm of Harmon & Harmon. Let our 35 years of experience work for you.
