Minimizing Consequences

When you hire Benjamini & Benjamini, you will benefit from a legal team with more than 37 years of combined experience. They use their experience and knowledge of the legal system to pursue options that reduce charges and minimize consequences. Two of these options are referred to as deferred entry of judgment and Proposition 36:

• Under a PC1000 deferred entry of judgment program, a first time offender will initially plead guilty. He or she then has 18 months to pay fines, complete drug rehabilitation classes and fulfill any other requirements. After 18 months, the judge will review the case again and may dismiss it when all terms have been completed.
• Under Proposition 36 or "Prop 36", a client offender may enroll in a drug treatment program as an alternative to spending time in jail.

If you have been charged with possession of marijuana or another drug, they will determine if you are eligible for these programs.

Possession of Prescription Drugs

Did you know illegal possession of even a few pills of Oxycotin or another similar prescription drug can result in serious criminal penalties? Attorneys Emily Benjamini and Dean Benjamini will work hard to make sure this does not happen to you.
