The Law Office of Richard Dudek, located at 901 H St Suite 310 in Sacramento, CA 95814, provides experienced criminal defense for clients facing drug charges throughout California. Attorney Dudek, certified as a Specialist in Criminal Law by The State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization, handles drug possession and trafficking cases with 30 years of experience and over 100 jury trials. The firm emphasizes that drug possession laws differ between state and federal jurisdictions, with medical marijuana being legal in California but not under federal law. They explain key distinctions between simple possession for personal use (potentially eligible for diversion programs) versus possession for sale (requiring proof of ownership, intent, and knowledge). For manufacturing charges that could result in seven-year prison sentences, the firm distinguishes between preparation (not criminal) and production (prosecutable). Their defense strategies include challenging search warrants, questioning evidence location, ownership disputes, quantity arguments, lack of knowledge, and personal use claims. The firm also handles federal drug trafficking cases involving mandatory minimum sentences and sentencing guidelines. For a free consultation, call (916) 848-6508.

Derek W. Emmons operates his law office at 206 East Locust Street, Suite 100, San Antonio, TX 78212, offering aggressive, experienced, and professional defense against drug possession charges. In Texas, drug laws are extremely tough, with severity depending on the classification of the drug and the quantity allegedly possessed. Larger quantities can lead to additional charges like intent to distribute. Attorney Emmons has the skills and experience to represent individuals charged with these crimes, and is available seven days a week. Texas classifies drugs into different categories, with possession of controlled substances in each resulting in different penalties. These categories include narcotics (opium, hydrocodone, fentanyl), depressants (heroin, valium, opioids), hallucinogens (LSD, peyote, mushrooms), stimulants (speed, cocaine), and marijuana. A drug possession conviction, even as a misdemeanor, can have negative impacts on your future, including your ability to get a job, obtain loans, secure insurance, or rent housing. As a former Assistant District Attorney for Bexar County with over 20 years of legal experience, Emmons fights to protect your rights throughout the entire process.
