If you have been charged for the possession, sale, distribution or transportation of cocaine, you will need to secure effective defense from the experienced San Diego drug offense lawyer at Kern Law, APC. An arrest for possession of even a small amount of cocaine may result in heavy penalties and life-changing circumstances, including a permanent criminal record. I have the legal knowledge to successfully guide you through your case and provide you with a defense that is directed at a reduction or dismissal of your drug charge.
California cocaine laws are listed under the Health and Safety Code §1100. Drug offense penalties for the possession, sale or transportation of cocaine will depend on the specific action and the circumstances surrounding the offense. Consequences are enhanced if the offense took place near a location that is frequented by children and minors. If the use of force is involved in the distribution of cocaine, then the average prison sentence of three to five years can be enhanced.

“Amazing results! I highly recommend Michael Kern!! This man made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. He is very communicative, extremely thorough, consistent, relentless, and has a solid rapport with the courts. I have a long felony criminal history, and came to Michael with 12 new felony charges, accompanied by 3 misdemeanors. Before meeting Michael, I was feeling defeated by the odds being stacked against me. But he gave me hope, fought hard for my freedom, and got me the exact outcome I came to him hoping to leave with. I'm a 3rd striker, and Michael was able to get my strikes struck, and get me probation! Me and my family are so grateful to him. He saved my life! Thank you Mr.Kern!!”- Jesse M.

“Choosing an attorney to represent you during one of the most stressful times of your life can be daunting. Your life might literally be in the hands of the lawyer you choose. For that reason, I'm writing this review. Mr. Kern stood up for me in court, and absolutely embarrassed the other side. He had deep knowledge of the law. He didn't waste any time, sticking only to the relevant information. With all the calm and cool that you would hope to expect he shut down the case, and had it dismissed. Without his remarkable knowledge of the law and the natural confident presentation I don't know what I'd be doing right now. This man is good, real good. I highly recommend Mr. Kern.”- C. Lundy
