San Diego Juvenile Representation for Drug and Alcohol Possession
Minors are often caught with illegal substances such as alcohol, narcotics and prescription drugs, and possession of these illegal substances is often an added charge associated with another arrest. The goal of the juvenile justice system is rehabilitation, and when the minor does not pose a serious threat to other people, we are often able to negotiate with prosecutors and argue strongly in front of judges that the best road to rehabilitation is not detention and penalty.
At the law office of Richard F. Arroyo, Attorney at Law/Abogado, we have been helping juveniles in trouble for 28 years, and we have a strong understanding of how juvenile hearings work and how to minimize charges and penalties.
Chula Vista Juvenile Drug Use and Possession Lawyer
Our juvenile crimes attorney, Richard F. Arroyo, works with clients who are charged with drug and alcohol-related crimes such as possession or drug trafficking. Often, these charges can also be associated with other crimes such as DUI or burglary. We work with juvenile clients charged with drug trafficking or possession of illegal substances, including:
- Alcohol
- Prescription Medications
- Marijuana
- Cocaine
- Ecstasy
- Meth
- Heroin
- Border crossing offenses involving narcotics (border busts)
Drug trafficking and possession can carry serious penalties, and even count as a permanent strike on an offender's record. The consequences of a true finding that a minor has committed a serious crime can potentially double the sentencing for future arrests in adult court, meaning that a juvenile drug or alcohol conviction now can lead to years in prison later.
Put Our Experience and Our Ability to Work
Our focus at the office of Richard F. Arroyo is to minimize penalties, avoid detention, seek alternative treatment or education and sometimes even avoid prosecution entirely. We work with clients at every level of the process, and the earlier we can get involved, the more opportunities you have to avoid prosecution and penalties.
Contact our office when you need representation for a minor charged with possession of illegal substances or drug trafficking.
