Understanding Drug Crimes in California

California is renowned for its high rate of drug trafficking, possession, and distribution. No matter what drug crime it may be, it is likely to be prevalent in our state – not to mention harshly punished.

The penalties for drug crimes in California are classified by schedules. Schedule I drugs (heroin, hallucinogens, opiates, and marijuana) have a high potential for abuse and no valid medical use, while Schedule IV and V drugs (prescription medications like diazepam and zolpidem, as well as low doses of codeine in cough medicine) have a low potential for abuse and widely accepted medical use.

Relevant Drug Crime Penalties Under California Code:

Drug Possession (§ 11350) - One year in county jail, $1,000 fine, or community service for a first offense and more years in jail, $2,000 fine, or community service for a second or subsequent offense.

Possession for Sale (§ 11351) - Imprisonment for two, three, or four years; or a sentence of three, four, or five years for possession of cocaine for sale.

Distribution, Transportation & Trafficking (§ 11352) - Imprisonment for three, four, or five years; or a sentence of three, six, or nine years for transporting drugs from one noncontiguous county to another

    "I will forever be grateful to this office who helped me."
    I retained the office to help me with some very serious charges that would hurt my career and long time goals. I was wrongfully accused of taking materials from a job site. I did not take them, this law office help prove my innocence. They helped me find an investigator for my case. The staff was always ready to help me and willing to go the extra step when I had questions. The Attorney later was able to get my case dismissed. I will forever be grateful to this office who helped me. I recommend Sawl Law Group if you want someone fighting for you.

    "They are experienced in accident cases and fight for what money you deserve. They are honest and inform their clients on what to expect."

    I highly recommend this firm. They are very busy, so sometimes you may need to be persistent in calling them. BUT they are experienced in accidents cases and fight for what money you deserve. They are honest and inform their clients on what to expect. Their lien doctors are excellent. You get all the medical treatment you need.

    "Right away you can see this is a very professional firm. They did everything they said they would, including working things out so I did not have to appear in court."

    This was the first time I had needed to hire an attorney. I met with 7 different lawyers before I decided. Right away you can see this is a very professional firm. They did everything they said they would, including working things out so I did not have to appear in court. I am very pleased with the service and the way the case was handled. I would and do recommend them to my friends.

    "Had it not been for Sawl Law Group, I would not have been as far as I am today in my military career."
    This is by far the most experienced and professional team of lawyers I've had the pleasure of working with. The staff was amazing, polite and very attentive to all my questions and needs regarding my case. Mr. Taleisnik was very reassuring regarding the best possible outcome for my case. While preparing my case I was kept well informed and was consistently and accurately updated with any new information. Had it not been for Sawl Law Group, I would not have been as far as I am today in my military carrier. I highly recommend this professional and well experienced team of attorney's.

    "Previous lawyers did not meet my expectations with their professionalism, concern or attentiveness. Sawl Law Group was very welcoming and understanding."

    This was the first time I had ever been involved in any situation like this. I had spoken with a few lawyers before heading to Sawl Law Group. The previous lawyers did not meet my expectations with their professionalism, concern or attentiveness. Sawl Law Group was very welcoming and understanding.

    They took immediate ownership of the problem at hand. This problem had wrecked havoc on my life by draining my time and my finances. Sawl Law Group was affordable and handled the case so I wasn’t required to miss work and physically be present. I would highly recommend Sawl Law Group to friends, family and anyone who needs a tough lawyer to receive justice.

    "I would highly recommend the Sawl Law group to family and friends if they were ever in need of their services."

    Just wanted to thank the Sawl Law group for a job well done. Corina did a great job and was very helpful. Corina explained the procedure in great detail. She always kept me well informed and always made herself available to me via phone, email and in person. I would highly recommend the Sawl Law group to family and friends if they were ever in need of their services.

    Thanks again for all your help and hard work!
