A Charge Is Not a Conviction. We Find the Weaknesses.
- Challenge the Stop & Search
- Was the traffic stop legal? Did police have probable cause or a valid warrant to search you or your property? We aggressively challenge constitutional violations to get evidence thrown out.

- Was the chain of custody broken? Was the field test accurate? We forensically examine the prosecution’s case for errors that can lead to reduced or dismissed charges.
- Explore All Pathways
- We explore every option, from pre-trial diversion programs to negotiations for a lesser charge. Our goal is to avoid a felony conviction whenever possible.
- Direct Access to Your Attorney
- You hire Josh Lopez; you work with Attorney Josh. You’ll have his direct line and his undivided attention to your case’s strategy.
The Hidden Costs of a Drug Conviction Go Far Beyond Jail Time.
A conviction can trigger a lifetime of collateral damage:
- Felony on Your Record: A barrier to employment, housing, and loans.
- Loss of Professional Licenses: Threatening your career in fields like healthcare, real estate, or law.
- Loss of Federal Benefits: Including student loans and grants.
- Suspension of Driver’s License: Automatic suspension for any drug conviction.
- Difficulty Securing Housing: Many landlords run background checks.
A strategic defense is your ONLY chance to avoid these lifelong penalties. The decisions you make now are critical.
