Defending Your Rights
Drug crimes are some of the most heavily prosecuted crimes in California. Law enforcement officers do not take these crimes — mostly federal offenses — lightly, and conviction could dramatically impact the rest of your life. To protect your rights and your freedom, you need a skilled Stockton drug crime attorney.
At the Law Offices of Brian Michaels, we represent people throughout Southern California accused of possessing, trafficking or manufacturing illegal substances such as marijuana, cocaine or methamphetamines. We also defend those charged with prescription drug abuse.
Drawing on our knowledge, experience and trial skills, we strive to provide the tough legal defense you need at a price you can afford.
Whatever the case, attorney Brian Michaels is always up front with you about your options. He strives to help you make informed decisions that work toward your best possible outcome. If necessary, he will aggressively defend your rights and interests in court.
Experienced Los Angeles Prescription Drug Abuse Defense Lawyer
Many people do not realize that prescription drug abuse is taken just as seriously as illegal drug abuse or manufacture. If you are convicted of stealing prescription medications or forging prescriptions, you could face the same criminal penalties under federal law as an illegal substance user.
In addition to defending those accused of possessing illegal substances like marijuana or cocaine, we defend clients accused of prescription drug fraud involving depression and pain medications such as:
- Vicodin
- Codeine
- Morphine
- Valium
- Oxycodone
- Hydrocodone
- Xanax
- Percocet
- Zoloft
We understand that you may have become unwillingly addicted to a drug originally prescribed for your health. We will review your unique circumstances and help you make informed decisions regarding your options. Often, we have successfully obtained reduced charges or even dismissal for those who voluntarily enroll in drug rehabilitation programs.
