Are you dealing with a ticket for possession of marijuana in St. Joe State Park, MO? If so, do you know if the amount found was more or less than 35 grams?

We Want to Get the Charges Reduced So That It Does Not Show Up on Your RecordIf you are not too certain about how to answer the questions raised above, then it is a very good idea for you to speak with any attorney!! Why? Let’s take a look at a few reasons:
As of January 1, 2017, the following laws regarding marijuana possession went into effect:
Most people, however, do not retain the services of an attorney. Instead, they do nothing more than plead guilty to the charge as is. This decision seems like it is the easiest route to go. But what people do not realize is that there are long term consequences to pleading guilty. For instance, if you have a drug conviction on your record, then you will find it incredibly difficult to get a decent job (or rent an apartment, or maintain current governmental benefits).
But we would want you to receive a much different outcome!! We want to closely examine the facts of your particular case to determine if there are any defenses available to you. And at the very least, we would want to get the charges reduced to something minor. This is a far better route than what is described above!
