Marijuana - Methamphetamine - Cocaine - Heroin - Narcotics - Cannabis

It can be quite a shock to be arrested on a drug charge. In California, punishments can be heavy and the system can be tough on people accused of drug crimes, but an experienced attorney on your side can protect your rights and minimize your punishments.

Attorney Leon J. Mezzetti, Jr., of the Leon J. Mezzetti, Jr., has 25 years of experience as a criminal defense attorney in the Northern California legal system, and previously worked as a Deputy District Attorney. He has the experience and skill to help people accused of:

  • Drug possession
  • Driving under the influence of drugs (DUI)
  • Drug possession with intent to sell
  • Drug sales
  • Drug transport
  • Drug manufacturing

Although California now permits the recreational use of marijuana (cannabis), there remain numerous ways in which one may be arrested under marijuana statutes. For instance, it is unlawful for minors to posses any amount of cannabis, or for adults over 21 to possess more than one ounce or more than 6 marijuana plants. Moreover, cannabis remains illegal at the federal level, resulting in ongoing federal marijuana arrests in California.

In Northern California, methamphetamine ("meth" or "crank") is becoming increasingly common, and has been involved in many of our recent drug cases. We also have defended many narcotics cases, including cocaine and heroin. No matter what the case, our attorney will know whether to challenge the charge or make a plea, with his focus always on whatever is best for his client.
