Legal Help If You are Facing Charges for Drug Crimes or Narcotics Violations

Aggressive San Jose Drug Charge Lawyer

A conviction for a drug charge will leave a permanent mark on your record. It can be seen by potential employers, landlords, banks, and others. It can interfere with your ability to apply for a college loan, to rent an apartment, and to earn a living.

It’s important to do everything possible to prevent a conviction for a drug charge or to reduce the charge to limit the damage it can do to your life. Let the Law Office of Holden W. Green, A Professional Corporation explain your options and provide a vigorous defense in your case.

Diversion Programs Program Resolution

To resolve your case via a treatment / diversion program, you need an experienced attorney negation you access to obtain this type of resolution. These programs provide a way to avoid jail time and convictions. Successful completion of a diversion program can help keep a felony off your record.

This is a very good option because a felony conviction will remain on your criminal record for at least 5 years before you can even try to have it reduced to a misdemeanor. Program resolution frequently necessitates the assistance of an attorney, who can negotiate your way in to these programs.

◾What is Deferred Entry of Judgment (DEJ)? With a DEJ, once a drug treatment program has been successfully completed, charges can be dismissed after 18 months and all records of the court proceedings are destroyed. If the program is not completed, or not completed successfully, then prison time could be possible.
◾What is Proposition 36? Prop 36 is more of a burden than a Deferred Entry of Judgment and the record of the court proceedings remains in place. But it also allows drug charges to be dismissed after the successful completion of an 18-month program similar to probation.

Attorney Green has been defending people in San Jose and Santa Clara County since 1994. He and his legal team represent clients in state and federal drug cases for any drug charge, including:

◾Drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia
◾Under the influence of drugs (in public)
◾Sale of drugs or possession with intent to sell
◾Transportation of drugs
◾Manufacturing of drugs (meth or designer drugs) or cultivation of narcotics (marijuana, opium, cocaine)
◾Criminal charges sometimes associated with drug crime, including conspiracy, money laundering, weapons charges

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

“I was charged with four felonies. I went for seven months with a public defender and was found guilty by everyone including the judge. I was set for trial. In a panic I called Mr. Green. Right away he noticed that the stop was unconstitutional. He filed a motion to suppress and the case was dismissed! He then filed a motion to have my lawful property returned and won that as well. Next he moved to have my arrest sealed . Before Mr. Green I was sure I was headed to state prison and parole! I was saved from being a convicted felon. This is a fantastic lawyer! Gratefully C Granger.”

Attorney Green handled Sealing a Arrest Record for us. We hired him because he was highly recommended as an excellent Attorney who knows the law well. His fee was reasonable and his service was excellent. He knows his way around the Justice System and is incredibly resourceful. And, didn't even have to appear in court. He advised me at what actions to take so I would not waste a lot of time and money, and he delivered exactly as he said he would. If you want an attorney who will get things done for you and not beat around the bush and get right to the point, I highly recommend Attorney HW Green. He is one of the BEST Attorneys you will find. And, my wife and I thank him wholeheartedly for what he did for us!

My review is simply based on the free consultation, I did not proceed with further work, so it is worth mentioning. I've called Attorney Green twice, with two different matters, and every time, he has given me great advice. My cases didn't really go to any trial, but if they did, I would consider having him as my attorney.

VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH HOLDEN GREEN. I earned myself a felony when I was 19 years old, (55 years ago) ( 459 auto burglary). It caused me issues with employment and later when I started my business, on who I could get work from, and needless to say it was embarrassing. i did quite a bit of research on what needed to be done, and then I contacted a half a dozen attorneys in Santa Clara county. Right off the get-go several of the attorneys had no idea how to deal with this, so I randomly selected Holden, based on other positive reviews, to meet with first. That was in October 2020. We met in an outside cafe in down town San Jose ‘because of Covid’. He was VERY straight up about everything, he explained everything in detail, and all the steps, including the restoration of my 2nd amendment . rights, which is a separate step. He also made it very clear that the courts were a mess because of Covid, and I should be prepared for this going into Spring before I would get a court date. This is the only thing that Holden did not get correct; Holden called me on January 20th and told me that my felony was reduced to a misdemeanor and the misdemeanor has been expunged. So spring came on January 20th 2021 I found Holden to be very professional, and very thorough. He returned my emails instantly as well as my phone calls. This has been a very rewording experience. I am now 74 years old and this has been hanging over me for most of my life. I just regret that I did not do this many years ago.

I could not be happier with my experience with Mr. Green. From Day 1 he was responsive, returned all calls and text messages in a timely manner and talked me through every aspect of my request. Every time estimate he made was accurate and the process start to finish was extremely efficient, especially due to the current covid-19 restrictions, which seemed to cause him no delay at all. I am extremely pleased with the outcome, with Mr Greens’ professionalism and follow through. I would highly recommend his services to anyone that may need assistance and support.

The Best Attorney ever! He will stick with you throughout the whole case, and shows that he got your back! He has reliable sources also. He referred me to a server, and the job was done the same day I called for service. I would definitely recommend him to everyone that I know. He's the Best!

Holden Green was a phenomenal attorney! Not only did he help get my conviction reduced, he also got it expunged and it allowed me to have a new beginning. Now I can begin my career and apply for jobs/ housing/etc. without hesitating and having fear of rejection. His customer service, responsiveness, and efficiency was on point. As soon as you request his services he gets right on it and gets it done! He truly doesn't mess around, highly recommended!
