You can be charged with drug dealing in California if you are found to be contributing to the production, packaging, distribution or the sale of narcotics. The penalty for this crime is usually prison. It is a felony crime regardless of what drug you sold. Drug dealers are seldom given probation even if it is a first-time offense.
Your sentence will be determined by the drugs in your possession and the amount you have. If you were caught with any type of illegal drug, you would be wise to contact a competent Criminal Law Attorney who has experience in handling drug-dealing cases in California and can advise you of your civil rights under the United States Constitution.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department reported that two people are dead and one seriously injured because of an accident that took place in Sun City. Perris Police officers responded to the accident report and discovered that 22-year old man, with two passengers in the truck, lost control of his pickup truck and hit a large tree. He died at the scene. One of his passengers, 24-year old man (a family member) died at Menifee Valley Medical Center. The third passenger was hospitalized in critical condition.
The Perris Police Department is investigating the accident; it is unclear what happened – was it driver negligence, vehicle defect or dangerous road conditions? They are asking any witnesses to contact them at 951-210-1000. If it is determined that an auto defect or another person caused this accident and killed the two men, their families could be entitled to monetary compensation in a personal injury or wrongful death claim.
I hope the families of these three men contact an experienced Personal Injury attorney who will thoroughly investigate the accident and help the families protect their rights.

A 12-year old girl was killed recently because a 21-year old man, ran a red light. Not only was this young girl killed, but also her mother and 21-year old brother were badly injured, according to California Highway Patrol officers.
The man was arrested for the possibility of driving under the influence. He broadsided the vehicle that had the three individuals. The accident is under investigation. How very sad for this young girl and her family.
I would urge the man to contact an experienced Criminal Attorney as soon as possible for the help he will need. There is a chance he was driving under the influence, but more importantly, a child was killed because of his actions.

I cannot tell my family, friends and clients enough that Estate Planning is so important to handle. By planning your estate, you are taking care of your family later on – they can avoid the nightmare of the probate process.
If you do not plan your estate, the State will handle your assets for you and your heirs. An estate plan has many advantages, which include the reduction or elimination of estate taxes and protecting your heirs from potential lawsuits with creditors.
In addition, it allows you, not the State of California, to designate a guardian for your children and to plan for possibility of you becoming incapacitated. An important advantage is that is maximizes the privacy of your financial situation.
Why wait? Contact an experienced Estate Planning attorney now and discuss estate and who you want listed as your heirs.

In a recent Orange County Register article, it was noted that fewer than 30% of seniors have prepared an Estate Plan for their care when they can no longer do it themselves. Seniors should have a living will that states their treatment choices if they become incapacitated. They should draw up a health care proxy that names someone to make those decisions for them.
A recent survey found that 57% of older adults (more women than men) think retirement is an exciting, new chapter in their lives. Sixty percent continue working to get more money for their retirement. For those over 55, uninsured medical expenses is their top priority. Only 37% of seniors feel they will need long-term healthcare. A large percentage did not want to be a burden on their family members. Lastly, about 92% did not think about how they will pay for care or what their options would be.
In summary, seniors should fill out a living will, identify a healthcare proxy and discuss your long-term care with your family. If you need additional help, an experienced Estate Planning attorney should be contacted.
