Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney Fights Your Drug Crime Charges
In Los Angeles, facing drug crime charges is a critical issue with far-reaching implications. At The Law Offices of Arash Hashemi, we recognize the severity of these charges, which range from possession of marijuana to trafficking significant quantities of substances like cocaine, heroin, or methamphetamine. In California, drug offenses are not limited to illegal substances; they also include the misuse of prescription or over-the-counter medications. These charges are among the most common and stringently prosecuted in the state.
Impact of Proposition 47 on Drug Crime Charges in California
Nearly a decade ago, California voters passed Proposition 47, significantly altering the legal landscape for drug possession charges. Prior to this proposition, many drug possession offenses were treated as felonies. However, with the enactment of Proposition 47, the majority of these drug crimes have been reclassified as misdemeanors. This shift represents a substantial change in how California approaches drug offenses, focusing more on rehabilitation rather than severe penalization. The reclassification under Proposition 47 has led to reduced sentences for eligible offenses and has opened avenues for those previously convicted under the old laws to have their felonies re-evaluated and potentially reduced to misdemeanors.
