Amazing results! I highly recommend Michael Kern!!
“Amazing results! I highly recommend Michael Kern!! This man made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. He is very communicative, extremely thorough, consistent, relentless, and has a solid rapport with the courts. I have a long felony criminal history, and came to Michael with 12 new felony charges, accompanied by 3 misdemeanors. Before meeting Michael, I was feeling defeated by the odds being stacked against me. But he gave me hope, fought hard for my freedom, and got me the exact outcome I came to him hoping to leave with. I'm a 3rd striker, and Michael was able to get my strikes struck, and get me probation! Me and my family are so grateful to him. He saved my life! Thank you Mr.Kern!!”

I don't know what I'd be doing right now.
“Choosing an attorney to represent you during one of the most stressful times of your life can be daunting. Your life might literally be in the hands of the lawyer you choose. For that reason, I'm writing this review.
Mr. Kern stood up for me in court, and absolutely embarrassed the other side. He had deep knowledge of the law. He didn't waste any time, sticking only to the relevant information. With all the calm and cool that you would hope to expect he shut down the case, and had it dismissed. Without his remarkable knowledge of the law and the natural confident presentation I don't know what I'd be doing right now. This man is good, real good. I highly recommend Mr. Kern.”

Drug offenses in the state of California are described in the Health and Safety Code § 11377-11382.5. In California, it is illegal to sell, possess, or distribute any type of controlled substance without a valid prescription or any type of illegal drug. The California Uniform Controlled Substances Act regulates these actions and serves as the U.S. federal drug policy. Penalties and consequences for violating drug crime laws are quite severe and can vary depending on the type of schedule classification of the drug. Drug offense schedules are used to differentiate crimes involving cocaine, heroin, meth, marijuana, and other types of controlled substances.
