Combating the Penalties Stemming from Marijuana Charges
Possession of less than an ounce of marijuana can result in various penalties, ranging from loss of driving privileges to hefty fines and up to a year in jail.
Typically, our attorney hopes to meet with you, whether in our office or in jail, to determine the issues you face and the exact charges pending against you. Following this free initial consultation, our staff will begin an aggressive discovery process, working diligently to find flaws in the prosecution's case by carefully examining all evidence in the case, including police reports, scientific reports, crime lab analysis, videotape and witnesses' and police officers' testimony.
Should any inconsistencies, deviations from police procedure or infractions of your rights appear, we will file motions challenging the traffic stop and search or warrant for the search, potentially ending your troubles at that early stage.
If such a motion is unsuccessful, our attorney will pursue a conditional discharge, preventing a conviction from showing up on your record and saving your driver's license.
A permanent record with a drug conviction has very serious consequences, consequences that we can help you avoid. Contact our office to schedule your consultation today.
