Marijuana Possession Charges in Bridgeton, MO - for as little as $450

Have you recently been charged with possession of marijuana in or near Bridgeton, MO (or in the surrounding St. Louis area)? Did the police officer find less or more than 35 grams of marijuana? Do you know why that question is important? Do you know if the police performed an illegal search when they found the drugs? Did you know that by simply pleading guilty to the charges, you could severely damage your future employment prospects? Are you aware that if you hire an experienced attorney, he or she can handle the case for you?

It is a sad fact that most people charged in Bridgeton MO with marijuana possession plead guilty to the charges as is. They believe that is the easiest, simplest way of taking care of the situation. But doing so will only make things more difficult for you later in life. For instance, such a blemish on your permanent record can hurt your chances of getting a student loan, or getting into college, or finding an apartment complex that will rent to you.

As of January 1, 2017, the following laws regarding marijuana possession went into effect:

1. If you are caught with less 10 grams of marijuana, it is a Class D Misdemeanor (unless you’ve already been convicted on a prior possession charge, in which case it would be a Class A Misdemeanor).
2. If you are caught with between 10 – 35 grams, it is a Class A Misdemeanor.
3. If you are caught with between 35 grams – 30 kilograms, it is a Class C Felony.

If this is something you would rather avoid, then the best thing to do is contact a good attorney. At The Bankruptcy Company, we would seek one of two remedies: 1) get the charges dropped; or 2) get the charge reduced to something minor (like “littering,” which does not even show up on your record).
