State Rights vs. Federal Rights

As a medical marijuana dispensary owner, you may be cultivating and distributing large amounts of marijuana at a given time. California law protects many parts of your business, but under federal law, it is still possible to be charged with a crime when possessing large quantities of marijuana, even for medical purposes. If you are operating well within the bounds of California law, but find yourself being charged with a federal marijuana crime, you want to fight to protect your innocence. A knowledgeable Orange County federal offense attorney may help you find a favorable solution to your case.

Our Firm is Here to Help You Do The Following:

  • Gather necessary evidence
  • Strategize with creative legal solutions
  • Build a strong defense
  • Communicate your side of the story
  • Secure the best possible outcome in court

As a medical marijuana user, you may not be subject to the same risks in federal law as a dispensary owner might, but it is still possible to violate the law. When the punishments for marijuana crimes are severe, it is important to know what is within the limits of state law, and what violates federal law.

Client Reviews

“It was strongly recommended that I call federal defense attorney Michael L. Guisti. He had several investigators look at records and such, and my federal case was dismissed. Michael Guisti does what few attorneys can do, beat the federal government, and that is why if you’re in trouble with the government you need to call Michael Guisti right away!”
