Attorney for Riverside and San Bernardino County Residents Charged with Narcotics Offenses
Despite considerable efforts to reform our state and nation’s laws regarding the possession, consumption, and sale of controlled substances like marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, oxycodone, and others, the “War on Drugs” is still alive both in California and across the country. One particularly problematic crime is that of so-called “drug conspiracy,” under which a person may be accused of a serious criminal offense even though they took no action toward the commission of a drug crime. Knowledgeable Riverside and San Bernardino County drug crime lawyer Gregory H. Comings devotes his entire legal practice to criminal defense work. This includes helping people who have been accused of drug conspiracy, as well as drug trafficking and other crimes related to narcotics.
The idea behind conspiracy laws is simple. They make it illegal for two or more people to agree to commit a crime if even one of them commits an “overt act” in furtherance of the agreement. Importantly, the act itself does not necessarily need to be a crime, and any member of the original agreement – not just the person who committed the overt act – can face charges. Exactly what constitutes an overt act can be quite case-specific, but generally it does not need to be a major step. For example, in order for there to be a conviction for conspiracy to cultivate marijuana, it is not necessary that the overt actor take all of the steps necessary to actually grow cannabis in order for the people with whom they have “conspired” to commit the offense to be found guilty of a drug conspiracy.

Defending Drug Conspiracy Charges Under California Law
As with other drug crimes, such as meth crimes or heroin crimes, there are sometimes defenses that can be of assistance in avoiding a conviction on a drug conspiracy charge. Depending upon the circumstances of the alleged conspiracy and the defendant’s arrest, a constitutional defense like a confession obtained in violation of the defendant’s right to remain silent or right to counsel may apply. Alternatively, there may be a defense specific to the crime of drug conspiracy.
For instance, a defense attorney may be able to defeat the government’s allegations by proving that there was no agreement between the alleged conspirators, that no overt act was taken, or that the defendant withdrew from the conspiracy before the alleged act occurred. Since drug conspiracy charges can result in a substantial period of imprisonment, it is critical to obtain a reliable lawyer if you have been arrested or may be facing an indictment for drug conspiracy. The exact range of penalties that are possible depends on a number of factors, including the severity of the underlying offense and the amount and type of drugs at issue. Typically, trafficking in a large quantity of an illegal substance carries a much stiffer punishment than merely possessing a small amount of marijuana. (Possession of marijuana is still punishable as a federal crime even in states that have legalized the recreational or medicinal use of the substance.)

Gregory H. Comings
Attorney at Law
When I first decided I wanted a legal career, I knew that it would be in defending people accused of crimes. Growing up I witnessed so many injustices. People that were wrongly accused and people that although they had broken the law, the punishment they were facing seemed so severe in accordance to the crime. Defending the accused was where my talent would be. I knew this in my heart and soul.
