Federal and State Drug Crimes Defense Lawyer
Former Deputy District Attorneys
Prosecutors are under increased pressure to seek convictions for serious drug crimes. Although possession of a small amount of marijuana is often charged as a misdemeanor, prosecutors often start with possession charges to construct a more serious case that can lead to a lengthy prison sentence.

A law firm with a combination of knowledge and experience
If you have been charged with a drug crime or are being investigated for drug charges, your defense attorney needs to know how the prosecution will approach the case. Attorney Jeffrey T. Hammerschmidt was a Fresno County prosecutor for 12 years and obtained many convictions in drug cases; and attorney Brian Andritch spent 8 years in that same office. This experience and the team approach we take to handling cases proves invaluable to our clients.
