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

Did you recently get charged with possession of marijuana in Sunset Hills, MO? Was the amount of marijuana found on you more or less than 35 grams? Do you understand why that is such an important question? Do you know what sort of negative consequences can fall on you if you decide to plead guilty? Do you know what sort of benefits can be had if you simply talk to a lawyer about your legal rights and options? Did you know that most people mistakenly believe that pleading guilty to the charge is “no big deal,” and that it will not affect them later in life?

Most of the people in Sunset Hills, MO, sadly, will do nothing more than plead guilty to the charge of marijuana possession. In their minds they figure, “I did have the drugs on me. The cop found the drugs. It wasn’t like the drugs were planted on me. I guess I have no choice but to admit guilty.” This is certainly a very honest and noble approach, but there are a great many consequences to come with such a decision.

But pleading guilty is not your only option!! An experienced attorney can usually get the Sunset Hills, MO possession charge reduced to a much lesser infraction (like “littering”) and keep the negative mark of marijuana off your permanent record. And in some cases, the attorney can get the whole case thrown out (this is especially true in cases where the police officer performed an illegal search when he or she found the drugs in the first place).

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).
