There are all sorts of concerts and rave parties throughout Los Angeles where people are getting caught by either undercover vice or some other way — maybe an employee, a security guard — and they're basically being charged with drug possession, drug sales, and they sell them at concerts, rave parties, and different locations.

A lot of these individuals are young – they are millennials — and they don't realize how this drug possession charge can impact their life and put them in a very bad position as far as getting future employment and all of the things that they would enjoy and want to do with their life.

So, suppose you've got a drug-related offense originating out of a rave party, some concert, or some other venue, and you've been arrested by either undercover police or security for the venue. In that case, you must get an attorney who has handled these cases because, a lot of times, the prosecutors are not too friendly about them, and they want convictions.

They want to put a mark on your record — a stain on your future. To avoid this, you need someone who will advocate for you, highlighting your individuality and potential.

Your attorney needs to be the champion of that information related to you so you can get sort of alternate sentencing that doesn't have anything to do with a conviction, keeps you out of jail, so you can basically earn a dismissal of the case and earn trying to get the record sealed and destroyed if you're a juvenile, or if you're an adult, try to figure out some other way to minimize the damage and the impact to your record. Your attorney will guide you through the legal process, from the initial arrest to the final resolution, ensuring you understand each step and are prepared for what's to come.

There are defenses to these cases. A lot of times, the police or undercover police will illegally stop you and illegally search you. Then, we can file a motion to suppress any evidence that they found because they violated your Fourth Amendment right under the Constitution.

However, it becomes tricky in some rave parties or concerts when the individuals being searched and evidence found against them are not the police. It's someone who is security or private security, so they don't have the same rules that the police do. Private security gets their hands on you, arrests you, finds drugs on you, and then hands you over to the police. There's nothing wrong with that. We will not be able to challenge that on constitutional grounds.

Understanding the specific circumstances of your drug-related offense at a rave party or concert is crucial. This knowledge allows us to identify potential defenses and implement damage control measures to protect your future. By taking a comprehensive approach, we can safeguard your record, your career prospects, and other important aspects of your life that could be affected by these offenses.

So, if you've been arrested at a rave or some sort of a concert related to drug trafficking — whether it be just straight possession, being underage, selling it, possession for sale — you've got to get somebody like me who's been doing this for twenty-five years. I handle a lot of clients who are younger and trying to build a future, but they make mistakes.

Now, they need someone to help them get back on track and into a position where they can recover from the mistake. That's when we step in, review everything, and work with them to get back on the right path. We figure out exactly what the real circumstances are because sometimes the police don't do a thorough investigation – they don't get your side of the story, and then we find out about you – who you are as a person, what you are doing now and what you plan to do in the future – maybe you want to go to college, or maybe you're just getting your career started – whatever the case may be – we have to figure out a game plan here to protect your interests so that this does not ruin the rest of your life, just because you might have been experimenting or involved in some sort of drugs related to a rave party or other social gathering.
