Defense Against Various Marijuana-Related Charges
|
Mounting a successful defense against marijuana-related charges can be an uphill climb. Having the assistance of an experienced marijuana defense lawyer can make all the difference in limiting or eliminating the damage caused by drug-related convictions, while keeping a lasting black mark off your record.
At the Law Offices of Thomas S. Barton, P.C., attorney Tom Barton has defended clients in the Stockbridge and Henry County, Georgia, area for nearly 20 years. Working diligently to help you defend your future against marijuana charges, we are often able to find satisfactory resolutions either through plea negotiations or assertive courtroom representation during trial.
Our aggressive approach and our experience defending marijuana charges allows us to address various marijuana crimes, including:
- Less than an ounce of marijuana: A misdemeanor offense, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana carries penalties of up to a year in jail and hefty fines, as well as automatic loss of driving privileges. Our work is designed to help you avoid these penalties through alternative sentencing or dismissal.
- More than an ounce of marijuana: Being caught with 28 grams or more of marijuana leads to automatic felony charges, resulting in jail time ranging from 2 to 30 years. Penalties increase with charges relating to sale or distribution, leading to extended jail time and heavier fines. We work diligently to help you avoid these penalties at all costs.
- Marijuana DUI cases: We have defended people facing marijuana DUI and drunk driving charges for nearly 20 years. As a member of the Georgia and National College for DUI Defense, Tom Barton has the experience to advocate for the best possible result under the circumstances. Don't plead guilty to a marijuana DUI or drunk driving charge without first speaking with a lawyer.
- Probation revocation: Pushing for alternative methods to revocation, our experienced staff has been able to help countless clients who have been charged with marijuana-related crimes while already on probation. We have successfully obtained alternatives to revocation, such as substance abuse treatment.
Contact our office to discuss your specific charges during your free consultation and discover whether your rights were violated during your arrest or if the police obtained evidence through illegal search and seizure.
