Our team is fluent in English and Spanish, and we are proud to offer free initial consultations to all prospective clients.

Drug Possession Laws in California
- Misdemeanor possession— This is the most common type of drug possession charge, and it is punishable by up to one year in jail, probation, fines, and/or community service. Misdemeanor possession charges are most common when the amount of the drug is small.
- Felony possession — This type of possession charge is more serious and punishable by up to three years in prison. Felony possession charges are most commonly associated with large amounts of drugs, possession with the intent to sell, or possession of drugs on school grounds.
