Most drug arrests in California turn on search-and-seizure issues. Whether the evidence comes in often decides the case.

Refuse Consent

Police cannot search your car, person, or home without a warrant, probable cause, or consent. Withholding consent preserves every challenge later.

Diversion Programs

Eligible defendants may qualify for pretrial diversion under Penal Code 1000; successful completion may result in dismissal. Proposition 36 (2000) and Proposition 36 (2024) are distinct programs with different eligibility and outcomes. We push for diversion in every eligible case.
