Newport Beach may be home to beautiful beaches and stunning views on the Balboa peninsula, but that does not make it immune to drug crimes. When people think of drug crimes, they often think of shady drug dealers on dirty urban city center street corners. But that is certainly not always the case.

Drug crimes can be serious offenses and having an experienced Newport Beach drug crimes attorney is extremely important. Drug crimes account for a disproportionate part of the prison population in California.

In California, there is a difference in crimes for having drugs for personal use and having drugs with the intent to sell them. Under 11350 of the Health and Safety Code, it is illegal to possess a controlled substance such as cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, meth, prescription painkillers without an authorized prescription, and others. And under 11351 of the Health and Safety Code, it is a felony offense if you are found guilty of possessing illegal drugs for the purpose of selling. What kind of punishment a drug crime might merit depends greatly on the circumstances. Sometimes these crimes are misdemeanors, which involve less serious punishment, and some are felonies that can have many years of jail time. There are many factors involved in what degree of crime you might be charged with and possibly convicted of.

Each year there are hundreds of people arrested for drug related crimes in Newport Beach alone. If you find yourself in a situation like this, the Newport Beach drug crimes attorney at the Johnson Criminal Law Group can help you understand the particular circumstances of your case and how best to defend or negotiate your case to get the best outcome.

Lauren Johnson-Norris was amazing. She explained everything in ways that were easily understood, & answered all of my question. She was respectful, but also open & honest. She started work on my case the first day we met & got results quickly. She demonstrated passion, concern, and showed true feeling for my situation. My expectations were greatly exceeded. I would say she has an incredible attention for detail, & has a real dedication to her work. Lauren Johnson-Norris would be my first recommendation to any of my family or friends similarly in need of legal assistance. Heather

I researched a lot of attorneys and had met with two attorneys before speaking with Ms. Johnson-Norris and retaining her. I was facing serious charges that could not be on my record, due to my job and was really scared. I felt hopeless & thought my life was ruined...until I found Ms. Johnson-Norris… A criminal defense client (drug case)

She is on point. She knows her field well. I have to give credit where credit is due, you deserve it Lauren Johnson-Norris… Anonymous, Victim of Domestic Violence

Lauren Johnson-Norris was my saving grace. I naively thought you were innocent until proven guilty. However, I soon discovered that CPS and family court does not see things that way… Mrs. G, a CPS client
