Drug Cases

San Jose, California, Drug Crimes Defense Attorneys

Drug charges disproportionately affect young people, which is particularly tragic because of the serious consequences that can result from a drug crime conviction. It can derail a college education, end eligibility for financial aid, and limit a future career.

You Do Have Options. You Can Have an Effective Defense

Attorney Charles Mesirow has more than 30 years of criminal defense experience. He has been certified in criminal law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization since 1977, a qualification held by only a small percentage of lawyers in the state. His experience as a former senior prosecutor for the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office gives him a thorough knowledge of both prosecution and criminal defense in cases involving drug crimes.

Mr. Mesirow has additional credentials that are particularly valuable in drug offenses and alcohol cases. As an executive director and board member for area rehabilitation and treatment clinics, he has been personally involved in helping people overcome drug and alcohol use. He understands the resources available in the community.

While working for an outright dismissal of the charges or a not guilty verdict, Mr. Mesirow is also concerned with minimizing harm to your future, including possible jail time. The courts are often open to treatment programs and alternative sentencing, especially for first-time offenders.
