San Bernardino Drug Possession Attorney
Nearly 10 Years of Experience Defending the Accused
Caught with drugs in your possession? Your case may be defendable. While it may feel like the odds are stacked against you, it may help to know that Proposition 47 reclassified most drug possession offenses as strictly misdemeanors when it was passed in 2014.
However, don’t be fooled into thinking that your alleged drug possession offense is no big deal. If convicted, you may be subject to jail time, fines, community service, mandatory participation in treatment programs, and more. Not to mention, your conviction will appear on your criminal record, which will make it difficult for you to secure a job, financial aid, housing, higher education, and more. Thus, it is in your best interest to retain an experienced San Bernardino drug possession lawyer who will personally handle your case from start to finish. As such, Mr. Kuntz is the right choice for you. With thousands of cases argued and experience as a public defender, he has what it takes to help you resolve your charges.

-
I was very worried about my case which was an old case that Dennis Kuntz took care of perfectly. He keeps in contact and really put me at ease. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who is lucky enough to have him.- Jennifer
-
Mr. Kuntz was professional and very helpful. Whenever I needed clarification, he was always available to answer my questions. I appreciated the fact that I wasn't being considered just another client, but a person who truly needed counsel. When dealing my first DUi in 2004, I hired a "Big Shot" attorney to handle my case. I was highly overcharged, and had many confusing ordeals which felt unnecessary. I was not satisfied to say the least, and felt like I got robbed. My experience with Mr. Kuntz was a breath of fresh air, and I would definitely recommend hiring a dedicated, genuine attorney like him.- Riley

We felt very confident with Mr. Kuntz, and appreciated the lengths he would go to for our case. When information was confusing, he was very clear about the next step, and what results to expect. He never made us feel like we weren't a priority. Not to mention, we received the absolute BEST possible outcome in our situation. Needless to say, we were very satisfied.- Denise
-
I had really gotten myself into serious, felonious trouble. Looking at 3 to 5 state prison time. I cannot say enough about how dedicated Dennis was to me and my situation. Not often do you feel like someone who doesn't know you at all, really CARES about you, and what he can do for you. Not once did Dennis give up on getting me the best possible outcome to my case. It's obvious that Dennis loves what he does, will go the extra mile to work hard and really WANT the best for you. I will forever be grateful that I retained Dennis for my case. Because of his hard work, relationships with the court, and his overall passion for what he does, I will be able to get a job, be able to vote, and get on with my life with no jail time, and a misdemeanor rather than a felon on my record. If you ever find yourself needing a , hard working, loyal, compassionate lawyer, I definitely recommend Dennis.- Former Client
