About Orange County Drug Crimes

Orange County Drug Charges Attorney

There are numerous offenses that may be considered drug crimes. By definition, a drug crime may include any criminal offense that is related to controlled substances. A controlled substance is a chemical, naturally occurring substance or other matter that is regulated by the government. This includes illegal narcotics as well as prescription drugs. By law, it is illegal for a person to possess, use, distribute, sell, transport, manufacture or cultivate illegal drugs or prescription drugs without lawful authority. Not only may a defendant face charges for actually committing a drug crime, but he or she may also face charges for conspiring to commit a crime of this nature.

An Orange County drug crime may be classified as a felony or a misdemeanor and may be penalized by varying sentences depending on the nature of the offense as well as the type and amount of drugs involved.
