College Students Facing Drug Charges

Defending Southern California College & University Students Charged with Drug Crimes


California prosecutes drug crime cases aggressively.

A conviction can lead to county jail or state prison, costly fines, driver's license revocation and mandatory drug counseling.

Further, a conviction can prevent you from getting a good job, renting an apartment and being accepted into certain schools or training programs.

For College & University students arrested and charged with a drug offense, David J. Givot, of the Law Office of David J. Givot is The Legal Guardian and we will do more than just help you through.

We will carefully and methodically examine the charges and the evidence against you. If law enforcement has not done everything necessary to convict you in front of a jury, beyond a reasonable doubt, then we will attack the charges from every available angle to achieve the best possible result. Even more importantly, we will vigilantly consider how any resolution will affect your professional, educational, and/or personal future.

I will aggressively defend your rights in court.

Knowledgeable Defense Against Drug Charges

Drug crimes can involve a range of substances, such as:

  • Crack
  • Cocaine
  • Marijuana
  • Methamphetamine
  • Ecstasy
  • Prescription drugs, such as OxyContin or Vicodin

Specific charges can include:

  • Possession of a narcotic or controlled substance
  • Possession of drug paraphernalia
  • Sale of a controlled substance
  • Transportation of a controlled substance
  • Manufacturing of a controlled substance

Whether the charge is filed as a misdemeanor or felony depends on such things as the type of drug, quantity obtained, your previous criminal history and whether the substance was intended for personal use or sale. In fact, it is just as illegal to give it away.
