Drug Offense Attorney in San Diego, CA Defends Your Xanax Case
Have you been accused of possessing Xanax without a prescription? If so,
you need to take immediate action. Drug convictions can lead to serious
repercussions, including jail or prison sentences. Furthermore, when doctors
are accused of committing crimes that involve Xanax—such as prescribing
the drug to patients who do not actually need then—they can also
end up potentially losing their medical licenses and ruining their careers.
Xanax, which is also known as alprazolam, is an anti-anxiety
prescription drug that has received a great amount of attention in recent years as a widely
abused substance. Individuals can be arrested for alleged activities as
complex as running large drug
distribution operations that involve Xanax, or for something as simple as taking a
friend's prescribed Xanax in order to calm one's nerves. Whatever led
to your Xanax-related drug charges, I advise you to bring your case to
my law firm, Kern Law, APC. I am an experienced San Diego drug offense
lawyer who can help you establish a strong line of defense in your criminal matter.
About Xanax
Physicians generally prescribe Xanax to patients who have anxiety disorders,
though they also sometimes prescribe the drug to treat depression and
other disorders. This drug falls under the benzodiazepine classification.
It is a depressant, so those who take the drug become highly relaxed. In 2011,
The New York Times reported that alprazolam (or Xanax) was the eighth most-prescribed drug
in the United States for the year 2010.
Penalties for Xanax Possession and Sale
According to California law, depressants that include alprazolam (or essentially,
Xanax) are considered a Schedule IV controlled substance. The types of
penalties a person can receive for a Xanax-related
drug offense will depend on various factors, such as the type of offense that was carried
out and the person's criminal history.
Possession of Xanax without a prescription is generally either an infraction or a
misdemeanor, according to California law (Health and Safety Code §11375). The charges become more serious with offenses such as possessing with
intent to sell and actual
sale of the drug.

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.”
