Attorney Fay Arfa has over 17 years of experience handling various criminal matters including drug related crimes. In recent years there has been a sharp increase in the prosecution and penalties for these matters. With the three strikes law, mere possession of any type of drug can result in a 25 to life sentence.
Whether a case is filed as a felony or a misdemeanor depends on the type of drug and the amount in your possession. For example possession of less than 28 grams of marijuana can be filed as a misdemeanor. Drug diversion is an alternative to jail time and if the program is successfully completed, the charges are dismissed from your record altogether.
