Possession of cocaine, no matter what amount, is a felony and has serious consequences. Our Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorneys have handled thousands of drug crimes including cocaine charges. We have the experience and the skill to effectively represent you if you are facing a possession of cocaine charge.

Depending on the amount, possession of cocaine can result in state prison for 2-4 years. If the purpose of possession was to distribute then one may face 3-9 years in state prison.

If you are facing these charges in Federal Court, there is a difference between the possession of crack cocaine and the possession of powder cocaine and the penalties are more severe. You may face 5-40 years in prison depending on surrounding circumstances like whether there was an injury or death.

If you have a prior conviction for a felony drug offense that has not been completed, you will be sent to prison for 10 years to life and if death or serious injury resulted from the cocaine use and if you have a prior conviction, you will be sent to prison for life and/or be required to pay a fine of up to $4 million.

Penalties for possession of more than 5 kg of cocaine or a substance containing coca leaves are even harsher and result in double the prison sentences and fines
