In Los Angeles and throughout California, people plead guilty to drug crimes without ever talking to a qualified criminal defense attorney.  Do not make this mistake.

If you or a loved one are under investigation or charged with a drug crime, you need a qualified California criminal defense lawyer to represent you.  Even if you are charged with a felony, you may be eligible for informal drug diversion or a Deferred Entry of Judgment in which your case may be dismissed altogether.

We have extensive experience defending drug cases including:

  • Possession of Cocaine
  • Possession of Methamphetamine
  • Possession of Ecstasy
  • Possession of Prescription Drugs Without a Prescription including Oxycontin, Vicodin, Adderall, Ritalin, Xanax and other similar drugs
  • Possession of Prescription Drugs For Sale
  • Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
  • Furnishing controlled substances (giving drugs to someone)
  • Precursor chemical cases (PCP and Methamphetamine manufacturing)
  • Forfeiture Proceedings

Just a few of the benefits for our clients when they hire The Law Offices of Jerod Gunsberg

Local Expertise: Our experience in the Los Angeles County courts benefits our clients.  We know how each and every courthouse and prosecutor’s office in Los Angeles handles drug cases.  We provide a practical, tailored approach to our client’s cases that is based on our insider knowledge of the particular Los Angeles courthouse in which the case will be heard.

Thorough review of any police searches and seizures of client’s property. Search warrants and warrantless searches of a client’s home, person, or vehicle are common in drug cases.  We thoroughly investigate search and seizure issues and aggressively challenge police searches and seizures.

Challenging so-called police “expertise” in determining personal use. In “possession for sale” cases, the police routinely claim expertise in differentiating “possession for personal use” versus “possession for sale.”  The truth is that the police do not know much at all about what constitutes personal use of any given drug.  We know how to systematically and successfully discredit the police’s so-called expertise.

Detailed Knowledge of the Law. California’s drug laws are complex, detailed and are subject to a variety of interpretations.  We are current in all areas of the law and have in-depth knowledge of how the courts interpret the drug laws.

Alternative Sentencing. If a client chooses to not take a case to trial, we are often able to negotiate alternative sentences for a client.  Our knowledge of which alternative sentences are available at different Los Angeles County Courthouses can keep our clients out of jail or prison.  And of course, if a client has issues with addiction and is looking to make a fresh start, we can help find the right treatment programs.
