About Norco
San Diego Prescription Drug Attorney Defends Your Charges
Similar to Vicodin, Norco is a type of drug that combines acetaminophen and hydrocodone. Hydrocodone is an opiate that is meant to help relieve moderate to severe pain. The acetaminophen helps to increase the effects of hydrocodone. According to the Controlled Substances Act, Norco is a Schedule III drug, as it has medical uses and a moderate physical and psychological dependence.
A report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated that Norco caused over 15,000 deaths in 2008. The government has seen an increase in abuse over the past decade and this number was expected to rise.
What are the Penalties for Norco Abuse
According to California Health & Safety Code § 11350-11356.5, the penalties for crimes involving Schedule III drugs can vary, depending on the amount. Those charged with possession may be sentenced to up to 6 months in jail and fined up to $1,000. They may also have the option to go to drug court and enter rehabilitation. Those who are found illegally selling Norco may have harsher penalties.

“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
