Drug Crimes

Orange County Drug Crime Lawyer

"I'll stand up for anyone and stand between them and their accusers or the government."

When someone is charged with a drug crime, drug addiction is usually a factor. At the law office of David E. Swanson in Irvine, California, we represent our clients and seek the best outcome, whether it is acquittal at trial or a drug diversion program.

If charged with a drug crime, your freedom is at stake. Your health is at risk as well if you are a habitual drug user. Not all people charged with a drug crime are offered a drug diversion program. Many factors go into this decision, including whether this is your first or subsequent charge. Your attorney at the law office of David E. Swanson will aggressively negotiate with the prosecutor for a reduction of your charges and get you into a drug diversion program.

As a Certified Specialist in Criminal Law by The State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization, Mr. Swanson has gained experience in trying a variety of cases that involve methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and ecstasy possession charges or more serious drug crimes. Those cases also include prescription drug abuse of Oxy Contin and Valium.

In many drug cases, one of the most important issues is whether a legal search and seizure was conducted by the police officer. We take a detailed approach in reviewing the events that led up to the search and seizure and how that investigation was handled. No matter what the drug crime charge involves, you have constitutional rights that protect you from unfair search and seizure. If that the arresting officer violated those rights, we will quickly move to have the illegally collected evidence against you suppressed.
