Hiring an LA Criminal Defense Attorney to Take My Dad’s Drug Offense Case
My father is facing some pretty serious drug charges. He was caught selling his pain pills, and had been doing it for long enough that he is facing criminal charges. So my wife and I are in the process of hiring a Los Angeles federal criminal defense attorney for him. Is what he did wrong? Yes. Should he go to prison just like meth dealers? No. He was selling them because the compensation he gets for being paralyzed in the war wasn’t enough to pay his bills. It wouldn’t be right to put an old man in jail for not being able to pay his bills, and being too prideful to ask his son for help. Put him on probation, sentence him to community service, make him talk to kids about the dangers of drug use. But don’t treat him like a criminal.
