Long Beach Crimes / Drug Charges

Experienced Drug Crime Defense Lawyer

Long Beach prosecutes drug crime cases aggressively. A conviction can lead to county jail or state prison, costly fines, driver's license revocation and mandatory drug counseling.

Further, a conviction can prevent you from getting a good job, renting an apartment and being accepted into certain schools or training programs.

If you or your child has been charged with a drug offense, you need a skillful attorney to fight the charges. I am David J. Givot. At the Law Office of David J. Givot in Long Beach, California, I aggressively defend clients charged with felony and misdemeanor drug offenses.

I will aggressively defend your rights in court.

Knowledgeable Defense Against Drug Charges

Drug crimes can involve a range of substances, such as:

  • Crack
  • Cocaine
  • Marijuana
  • Methamphetamine
  • Ecstasy
  • Prescription drugs, such as OxyContin or Vicodin

Specific charges can include:

  • Possession of a narcotic or controlled substance
  • Possession of drug paraphernalia
  • Sale of a controlled substance
  • Transportation of a controlled substance
  • Manufacturing of a controlled substance

Whether the charge is filed as a misdemeanor or felony depends on such things as the type of drug, quantity obtained, your previous criminal history and whether the substance was intended for personal use or sale. In fact, it is just as illegal to give it away.
