Do you know if the police officer performed a lawful search when they found the drugs?

Most individuals charged with marijuana possession in Chesterfield MO do nothing more than plead guilty to the charge. But there are far better options. For instance, our firm attempts to do one of two main things in this kind of situation: 1) get the charges dropped (especially if the officer performed an illegal search in the first place); 2) get the charges reduced to a lesser infraction (something like “littering,” that will not show up on your permanent record.

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.

In addition, there are long-term consequences that you should be aware of. For instance, having a drug charge on your record can have a tremendously negative impact on your future prospects to get a decent job. Or if you are looking for a decent place to live, your rental application could easily be denied. Or if you are wanting to go to college, the chances of getting a student loan are lessened.

But if you do not want that to happen, then the best course of action would be to contact an experienced attorney.
