Aggressive California Law Firm Defends Clients Accused of Drug Crimes

Assertive defense attorney fights for your rights in the Bakersfield area

Any drug charge needs to be taken seriously. In addition to possible fines and jail time, you may lose your job, be expelled from school, or become alienated from your family and friends. However, even in dire situations, there are defenses available to you. Entrusting your defense to an experienced attorney can give you the best chance at a favorable outcome. At The Law Office of Elliott B. Magnus, I work diligently to have confessions thrown out and to get charges dropped or reduced. I also make efforts to place clients in rehabilitation programs in lieu of incarceration. If you have been accused of a drug-related crime in the Bakersfield area or anywhere in California, let me provide the diligent defense you deserve.

Being charged with a crime can feel hopeless if you do not have a dedicated attorney in your corner. You can rely on me to mount a relentless defense of your rights. At The Law Office of Elliott B. Magnus, I represent clients charged with all types of state and federal drug crimes, including:

  • Drug possession
  • Possession with intent to sell
  • Drug trafficking
  • Driving under the influence of drugs

  • Possession of drug paraphernalia

Your legal rights are my top priority. I will fight tirelessly to obtain a positive resolution to your case.

Knowledgeable defense attorney challenges drug charges arising from traffic stops

Drug arrests that arise from traffic stops are not always conducted legally, so the stop itself may not hold up under scrutiny from an attorney in a court of law. Often, police officers stop a motorist on an unrelated issue, such as speeding or a nonfunctioning brake light. The police officer may then ask to search the vehicle, but they need probable cause to do that, and unfortunately, most drivers consent to a search without knowing they have the option to say no. If you refused to consent to the search and the police officer performed one anyway, contact an attorney at once. If your passenger had drugs in the vehicle without your knowledge and you were arrested because drugs were found, I will fight to protect your rights and seek to have the charges dismissed.

By challenging the prosecution at every turn, I provide a strong and persistent defense. I will examine if the police had a legal reason to pull you over, if you were coerced into making a confession or if an unreliable informant was involved in your arrest. These factors can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.
