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

If you have been charged with marijuana possession in Lemay, MO, do you know what your full range of options are to deal with it? Do you have a good working understanding of how state law can affect you? Do you know why it is important to know how many grams of marijuana were found on you? Do you have a solid grasp of the potential consequences if you simply plead guilty to the charge? Are you aware of the benefits of getting in touch with an experienced lawyer to help you through the process?

Let’s start with some facts: the state of Missouri has some of the harshest drug laws in the entire country.

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.

On top of these potential sentences, you would also be looking at a future in which getting a job is difficult, getting a decent apartment is very hard, and even securing a student loan is arduous.

That is not a future you want any part of. But unfortunately, almost all people charged with possession of marijuana in Lemay MO simply plead guilty. This decision can have tremendous unforeseen consequences down the road (as described above). However, our firm specializes in getting the charge reduced to a lesser charge (like “littering,” especially if it is your first charge); or in the alternative, getting the drug charge dropped (this can happen when the police officer who found the marijuana performed an illegal search). Either way, it is a far better outcome than pleading guilty!!
