Heroin Attorney Michael Kern Will Fight For Your Rights

Charged with a Heroin Offense in California?

Comprehensive Defense from a San Diego Drug Offense Lawyer

Have you been arrested or charged with a drug offense that is related to heroin? You may be facing severe penalties that could change your life forever. Heroin is a drug that is referred to by medical professionals as diamorphine. It is an opioid analgesic, which means that it is a painkiller used for severe conditions, including heart attacks. Diamorphine is called heroin when it is used in its illegal form. Heroin is frequently used as a freebase drug, which can be either smoked or injected. Mexican cartels produce heroin in a form that is known as black tar.

California laws for the restriction of illegal heroin drug use are strongly enforced. If you have been charged with a drug offense involving heroin, you should speak with the San Diego drug offense lawyer from my firm to understand the penalties you may face. Transportation, distribution or sale of heroin can result in the harshest penalties. A charge of possession of any amount of heroin can be classified as a felony. You may be incarcerated for more than a year if convicted. In the best of circumstances, you may be sentenced to jail and probation if no aggravating factors are part of your case.

Have you been charged with a heroin-related drug offense?

Defenses can be used on your behalf to help charges get reduced or dismissed. Many individuals can avoid jail time, especially for a charge of possession.

Some of the common alternatives that may be possible in your case include:

  • Drug treatment facilities
  • Proposition 36
  • Drug courts
  • Deferred judgment

At Kern Law, APC, I can fight on your behalf and provide your case with the defense it requires. My firm not only can help you understand the severity of the situation but also can explain all of your legal options to you. Speak with a drug offense lawyer from my firm at your earliest convenience!

    Amazing results! I highly recommend Michael Kern!!
    “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!!”

    I don't know what I'd be doing right now.
    “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.”
