Los Angeles Marijuana Crimes Defense Attorney

Charged with a Marijuana Crime in Los Angeles?

Marijuana is in use in large quantities in the Los Angeles area, and there are hundreds of medical marijuana clinics that are busy with customers.  As California law is quite mild with small amounts of marijuana, there are many cases that never even make it to court.  The general tone is that small amounts of marijuana in your possession are not a problem.  However, in cases in which larger amounts of marijuana are found and there is suspicion that trafficking may be occurring, this does become a serious legal problem.  Drug trafficking is a felony offense, and in some cases, particularly when the drugs have crossed an international or state border, the federal government gets involved.  If you are facing any such charge, it is critical that you contact a Los Angeles marijuana crimes defense attorney to assist you in fighting for your freedom.

Some individuals have a prescription for medical marijuana but are charged with a crime anyway; or have been arrested for DUI related to smoking marijuana while driving.  These crimes are treated differently than a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge, which results in a $100 fine, as long as you have less than 28.8 grams of the substance.  If you have more than 28.8 grams of marijuana, or have sold any amount to another person, you can be charged with drug distribution, which is a serious felony charge.   This is particularly dangerous if the charge is related to giving or selling marijuana to underage individuals.  You will be treated as a hardened criminal and if convicted, may be spending time in state prison.

Marijuana cultivation is another marijuana charge that can result in a lengthy prison sentence, as with a large number of plants, it will usually be considered that the intent was to traffic the substance.   At the Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates, the legal team has worked for years to fight for individuals who face any marijuana crime charge, and can assist you to aggressively fight to avoid jail or prison time.  The legal team is extremely well-qualified in all types of marijuana charges, including possession, trafficking and cultivation charges.
