Drug Crime Defense in Orange County

Fighting Charges for a Non-Violent Drug Crime

Drug court is set up in our state to help non-violent offenders treat their addiction, rather than just locking them up for a drug violation. There are certain qualifications that must be met in order to be accepted and avoid jail time. These are some of the criteria that have to be met in order to qualify:

• You must have no record of violent crimes or drug distribution
• You must show a willingness to participate in intensive drug treatment for two years (there are four levels of treatment that typically take six months each to complete).
• In order to move up a level, you - as the defendant - must apply to the court with a written essay and have the support and approval of a probation officer and county health care pfficial
