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

Did you recently receive a citation for possession of marijuana in Ellisville, MO (or near the St. Louis area)? Are you now trying to figure out what your legal rights are? Do you have an interest in learning what your options might be? Did you know that if you simply plead guilty, there are short and long term consequences with that decision? Were you aware that if you hire an experienced attorney, he or she can help guide you through the process from start to finish?

The sad fact is that most people in Ellisville MO plead guilty to the charge of marijuana possession without first pursuing their other options. They do this because they are unaware of their ability to do anything else. But simply pleading guilty is not the only thing you can do (in fact, it is often the worst thing you can do).

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.

This is to say nothing of the deleterious effects that such a conviction can have on you future prospects for a decent job (and sometimes your ability to rent an apartment).

But at The Bankruptcy Company, we have a different course of action in mind. We want to accomplish one of two things: 1) get the charges dropped (usually this involves an illegal search conducted by the police officer); 2) get the charges reduced to something minor (like “littering,” which does not even show up on your permanent record).

Ellisville, MO is a city in St. Louis County.
