DRUG OFFENSE CONSEQUENCES

Drug offenses are very serious charges with penalties that are often out of proportion to the crime committed. Drug crimes are typically misdemeanors but can be treated as felonies in some cases. Sentencing can range from 6 months to 1 year for misdemeanors and up to 3 to 9 years for felony charges.

Our goal is simple: That is to get you the best possible result!  We employ a variety of strategies to accomplish this. 

First, we get to know the client and their particular needs.  Each client is given a personalized service.  We work with the client to prepare a mitigation packet to bring out the best qualities of the accused client.  From our tremendous experience in both criminal defense and prosecution we know what the prosecutors are looking for in order to give the client a second chance. The mitigation packets we prepare with our clients have brought us countless amounts of dismissals and reduction of charges.  Part of the magic of Law Offices of Pereira and Moffatt is not only the preparation of the mitigation documents, but the ability to present it to the prosecution and court in a professional manner.  This is where our 32 years of combined legal experience really stands out.

In addition to preparing a mitigation packet, we analyze the legal issues of your case and explore every reasonable legal argument.  We truly believe that the local laws that have popped up to try to suppress the will of the people of California in their support of legalization of cannabis are unconstitutional.  We have been successful many times in pointing out errors in law enforcement and in the prosecution of our client’s cases. It is a constant struggle to try to achieve the best result in cannabis related crimes, but we are literally on the front lines of the legal battle.

Last, if we cannot obtain a dismissal or reduction based on negotiation or pretrial motions, we are experienced litigators that are willing and able to take the case to trial.
