California Defense Attorneys: PCP Drug Charges and Location

PCP Charge and Locations

A California PCP charge carries harsh consequences, and those repercussions can be made even greater by factors known as sentencing enhancements. The location where the alleged offense was committed is one factor that can trigger a sentencing enhancement in a California PCP case. If you’re facing a California PCP Drug Charge, skilled California defense attorneys from The Kavinoky Law Firm will do everything possible to protect you from the serious consequences of a drug charge.

The same constitutional protections apply to sentencing enhancements as to underlying drug charges – your guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt or you cannot receive additional punishment. Also, you cannot be convicted of a sentence enhancement unless you’re also convicted of the underlying drug charge.

These are the location sentencing enhancements that can be filed in a California PCP case:
