Effective Drug Possession Defense Attorneys in California
Drug trafficking includes the importation, delivery and distribution of illegal drugs. The criminal defense attorneys of the Law Office of John R. Fielding, Jr. & Associates in San Diego represent everyone in the drug trafficking process, including "blind mules" (unknowing drug couriers), lane scouts at ports of entry, street-level drug vendors and high-level operatives.
The clients of the Law Office of John R. Fielding, Jr. & Associates include people charged with drug trafficking throughout California and the United States. Our attorneys have the experience and expertise to vigorously defend such cases, which often involve the gathering of evidence in other countries, including Mexico and Canada and the continents of Europe and South America.
Did You Know It Was There?
You did not violate the law if you did not know that you were transporting illegal drugs. Our drug crimes lawyers have successfully represented "blind mules" — innocent people who unknowingly transported drugs across the California/Mexico border or elsewhere. A typical case may involve a traveler to Mexico who leaves his car with a mechanic for routine service. When the vehicle is retrieved, the oil isn't the only thing that has been changed. Cars are routinely being modified to store drugs, and the traffickers have associates on both sides of the border monitoring their unsuspecting victims.
We have also represented people alleged to have acted as border lane scouts, individuals paid to go to a point of entry and observe which vehicle entry lane offers the best chance of avoiding detection. Our criminal defense law firm has also represented clients in drug cartel cases involving sophisticated, international drug conspiracies.
The Importance of Expert Representation
Sentences for drug offenses can be severe. Many factors are involved in the sentencing decision, including whether a person is charged in state or federal court. No matter what consequences you are facing, our attorneys will work to minimize the negative impact on you. We are skilled negotiators and experienced litigators. You can rely on us to pursue the best possible resolution of your drug case.
