Redwood City Drug Possession Lawyer

But you must have an attorney who focuses on criminal defense, and has decades of practical experience, as Ms. Dwyer does. Any sentence you receive should address your problems, not just punish you.

If you or a family member has been arrested and charged with drug possession, you are probably worried, and need to know about:

• The prosecution process
• The potential penalties
• Your options

Call our office immediately for a consultation about charges relating to methamphetamines, marijuana, heroin, cocaine or prescription drugs.

Alternatives to Traditional Penalties

One way to convince a judge of your sincerity about changing your ways is to enroll in a treatment program. Any harm you have done in conjunction with possession and use of drugs should be remedied where possible. Diversion programs such as deferred entry of judgment (DEJ) and Prop 36 are intended to address the root of your problem and keep a criminal conviction off your record.

Attorney Dwyer's skills will benefit you from the moment you call, through negotiation and handling your case, to trial if that is in your best interest. Countless defenses are available in any trial, from search and seizure violations to simple lack of evidence. She has over 20 years of experience and has vigorously defended clients in more than 150 jury trials.

She is a member of the California DUI Lawyers Association (a DUI Defense Organization), California Attorneys for Criminal Justice, the California Public Defender's Association, the San Mateo County Bar Association, the San Mateo County Private Defender's Panel, and the State Bar of California.
