In Federal District Court drug trafficking, manufacture, possession and/or sale of narcotics or paraphernalia carry heavy penalties. Clients should carefully select a federal attorney who has handled cases in federal court and is familiar with its complex system of procedures.

In California state courts, rather, courts in the various California Counties, i.e., City & County of San Francisco, Marin, Contra Costa, Alameda, Solano, Santa Clara and San Mateo, many offenders will be eligible for what is known as "Prop 36," "drug diversion" or "drug court" (synonyms for the same remedy). Prop 36 is a probation remedy, where the client receives treatment rather than incarceration. The court will usually give the defendant three chances to complete the program of treatment.

To successfully handle drug cases the criminal defense attorney must evaluate the case for Constitutional Law violations and to determine if the Motion to Suppress Evidence is available. Additionally, forensic analysis of the defendant's clothing and person, and/or analysis of the containers, etc., can be helpful in making a reasonable doubt or alibi defense. Narcotics officers are well-known for their flagrant violations of the law and mishandling of evidence. Forensic lab work can be instrumental in detecting if any of these violations have occurred.
