Drug Crimes In Bellflower

Prisons in California and all over the U.S. are filled with non-violent people serving long sentences for drug crimes. Many of these people are addicted to drugs, but prosecutors imprison them rather than try to get them the help they need. The War on Drugs is far from over.

Our founding attorneys’ unique blend of defense and prosecution experience helps us fight drug charges effectively because we know how the state argues these cases.
