Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice protects clients' constitutional rights in cases involving felonies, misdemeanors, and federal charges. We provide tailored strategies for drug crimes, DUIs, and violent offenses. With decades of combined experience, we focus on minimizing long-term impacts through dismissals, reduced charges, or favorable plea agreements.
Drug Crime Defense
Specializing in drug crime defense, we handle possession, trafficking, and cultivation cases under California and federal laws. Our attorneys leverage deep knowledge of medical marijuana regulations and reform advocacy to challenge evidence and secure dismissals or diversion programs for eligible clients.
DUI Defense
We defend against DUI charges involving alcohol, marijuana, and prescription drugs. Our approach includes challenging field sobriety tests, bloodwork accuracy, and procedural violations to reduce penalties or achieve case dismissals while protecting clients' driving privileges.
Expungement
Our expungement services help clients clear criminal records for improved employment and housing opportunities. We navigate post-conviction processes to legally erase eligible offenses from juvenile drug charges to adult felony convictions under California law.
Medical Marijuana Law
We specialize in medical marijuana law defense and regulatory compliance for dispensaries and patients. Our attorneys challenge unlawful prosecutions under Proposition 215 and advocate for clients facing cultivation, possession, or distribution charges under state and federal statutes.

Questions
What should I do immediately after a drug-related arrest?
Remain silent, request an attorney immediately, and contact Glew & Kim for 24/7 representation. Avoid discussing your case with law enforcement without legal counsel present.
Can medical marijuana patients still face criminal charges?
Yes, but our attorneys challenge unlawful prosecutions under Proposition 215 and federal statutes, leveraging decades of experience in medical cannabis defense.
How do DUI cases involving marijuana differ from alcohol charges?
Marijuana DUI cases require specialized defense against blood test interpretation and field sobriety challenges. Our attorneys exploit weaknesses in THC metabolite analysis to protect clients' rights.
What post-conviction options exist for felony drug charges?
We pursue expungement, record sealing, and probation violation defenses to minimize long-term consequences of drug-related convictions in California courts.
How does the firm handle violent crime accusations?
We develop strategic defenses challenging evidence credibility, self-defense claims, and witness reliability to reduce charges or secure acquittals in violent crime cases.
