Fresno, California, Drug Offense Lawyer
Drug offenses, especially in California, can involve complex issues of fact and law. As an experienced drug offense defense attorney, I know federal and state drug laws. When you have been arrested or are being investigated for a drug crime, I will help you understand what you are up against. Contact the Fresno, California, Law Offices of Michael J. (Mac) McGinnis at 559-497-7979.
I have been a criminal drug defense attorney for 35 years and draw on experience as a former prosecutor and as a deputy sheriff to give me complete knowledge of the laws involved in defending drug crimes. I represent people accused of involvement with many different kinds of drugs:
- Methamphetamine
- Cocaine
- Crack
- PCP
- Heroin
- Marijuana
- Forged prescription
- Illegally obtained prescription drugs
If you are being investigated for or charged with a drug offense, it is critical to hire a drug defense attorney as soon as possible. Exercise your Miranda rights under the Fifth Amendment and do not make any statement to the police. Attempts to explain away accusations to the police have brought serious negative consequences for many Californians.
Experienced Federal Criminal Defense Attorney, Fighting Your Marijuana Charge
I also have experience fighting federal prosecution of Californians who possess marijuana for medicinal purposes. While possession of medical marijuana can be legal under California State law, people can be prosecuted under federal law for possession. This often occurs in conjunction with other federal charges. In these circumstances, you need a lawyer with established jury trial skills. I use my 34 years of experience and passion in the courtroom to advocate zealously for you in court.
