Did you recently receive a citation for possession of marijuana in Crestwood, MO (or near the St. Louis area)? Was the amount of the drug found on you more or less 35 grams? When the police officer found the marijuana, did he or she conduct the search of your body or car properly (or was the search performed illegally)? If you do not know the answer to that question, are you aware that obtaining legal counsel will help you understand what your options are?
We Want to Get the Marijuana Charge Reduced So That It Does Not Show Up on Your RecordIt is an unfortunate fact that most people in Crestwood MO plead guilty when charged with marijuana possession. They usually make this type of plea because they believe it is the only thing they can do. They are under the impression that pleading guilty is the easiest and cleanest way to deal with the situation. But they are wrong.
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!!As of January 1, 2017, the following laws regarding marijuana possession went into effect:
And of course there are all the negative impacts that can come in the future if you plead guilty. You could miss out on a great job. You could be denied a chance to get a commercial driver’s license. Or you could even have your application on a rental apartment rejected.
But there is a far better option available to you. Hiring an experienced attorney to handle the case for you makes much more sense. A good attorney can either get the charges dropped (especially if the search conducted by the police was illegal), or get the charges reduced to something minor (like “littering,” an infraction that does not even show up on your record).
