An arrest for any type of marijuana drug offense can result in a substantial
change in your life, both on a criminal and civil level. Despite marijuana's
popularity, charges for marijuana possession can result in serious consequences.
California's government will be relentless in its prosecution of your
case and can use its nearly endless supply of resources to convict you.
If you have been arrested for any marijuana offense, do not hesitate to
speak with the San Diego drug offense lawyer from my firm.
California Marijuana Laws
Facing allegations for a drug offense that involves marijuana will likely
result in a substantial amount of difficulty, especially when seeking
future employment. California may seem persistent when it comes to the
penalties associated with a marijuana conviction. If you have been found
in possession of marijuana and it is obvious that it is for personal use,
you will likely face a misdemeanor charge. Possession of more than an
ounce can be punished by up to six months in jail with a fine of up to $500.
In any case, a marijuana charge can result in the creation of a criminal
record, which can damage your reputation and hinder you as you search
for employment or housing. Medical marijuana laws in the state are lenient
compared with other states, but the criminal justice system can come down
very hard on people who are do not have a valid license or prescription
for possessing marijuana. Although marijuana is not treated in as harsh
a manner as other drugs, it is still a criminal act to possess more than
one ounce 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.”
