Cannabis Administrative Appeals in Sacramento

Over a Decade Spent Protecting the Rights of Californians

The city of Sacramento has laws regarding the cultivation of marijuana, specifically that growers cannot do so in residential areas over a specific amount. Unfortunately, these laws are not always obeyed. In some cases, landlords who rent to those engaged in illegal grow operations are charged as though they were guilty of growing substances themselves. At Donato Legal Group, our Sacramento cannabis administrative appeals lawyer fights to help people protect their rights and avoid criminal penalties. If you were charged with a cannabis-related crime, we can help you appeal the charges.

Bringing Charges against Unwitting Property Owners

For people who own rental properties, the activities performed by their tenants cannot reasonably be monitored at all times. Unless a landlord visits a tenant on a constant basis, there is a chance that they will be unaware of illegal grow practices taking place on their property. Recently, more and more landlords are being criminally charged for their tenants’ activities, sometimes without the actual growers facing any consequences.

Some property owners are charged based on accusations that they:

• Did not adequately inspect their rental property
• Are involved in more serious organized crime
• Were negligent in suspecting illegal drug activity
• Are guilty of a crime other than what could reasonably be said to have taken place

In these cases, it can feel like the notion of “innocent until proven guilty” goes out the window. Many property owners hardly understand why they are being charged with a crime, which is why having an experienced cannabis law attorney is so important.

Fighting for Your Due Process

You have a right to understand the charges being alleged against you. Because of the ambiguity between state and federal law, some local law enforcement officers feel they are entitled to make arrests without having adequate evidence—let alone warrants.
