Federal Drug Charges

Criminal defense attorney Michael Berg has compiled a winning record defending people fighting against drug charges in San Diego County, California since 1982. If you have been charged in a drug crime, you need a criminal defense attorney that has intimate working knowledge of The Controlled Substance Act.

The Controlled Substance Act - Summary

The Controlled Substance Act combined the laws which govern the regulation of possessing, manufacturing and distributing narcotics, anabolic steroids, hallucinogens, stimulants, depressants and chemicals which are used in the illegal manufacturing of controlled substances or illegal drugs. The Controlled Substance Act classifies all federally regulated substances into five schedules or categories.

Schedule Of Drugs

Schedule 1 includes the most dangerous drugs. The Schedule 1 drugs have no recognized medical use. The Schedule 5 drugs are considered to be the least dangerous.

Some of the most common drugs of the Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 narcotics are:

• Heroin
• LSD
• Cocaine
• Methamphetamine
• PCP
• Ecstasy

Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 Penalties

The Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 offenses carry different penalties depending on the amount of substance the arresting officer seizes and if it is your first or second offense. Your first drug crime conviction could be 5 to 20 years in prison and up to $2,000,000.00 in fines.

The second drug crime conviction could be 10 years to life in prison and up to $4,000,000.00 in fines. It is your own best interest to hire a criminal defense attorney who specializes with a winning track record in San Diego County to fight for you and your freedom.
