Only $450 To Handle Most Berkeley, MO Marijuana Possession Charges

There are several negative outcomes that can and will occur if you simply plead guilty to your Berkeley, MO marijuana possession ticket:

1. Your record will get hit with a drug conviction
2. A simple criminal background check will allow anyone to see this conviction
3. Which means if you try and get a job or an apartment in the future, it will be a lot more difficult
4. And the government can always cut off any benefits you may be currently receiving (such as food stamps and public housing)

Instead of dealing with the bad outcomes described above, here a few positive things that a good Berkeley Missouri marijuana lawyer can get done for you:

1. The lawyer can take a look at all the pertinent facts of your case to see if a dismissal is available (this can come about if the police officer performed an unlawful search)
2. The attorney can always work closely with the local prosecutor to get the charge amended down to a much lesser offense (like “littering,” which does not even show up on your record)
3. And if the first two options cannot be achieved, there is a strong chance of securing an SIS (suspended imposition of sentence), which involves a period of probation (after which the charges drop off altogether)

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

But what you want to avoid is pleading guilty!! Because if you make such a plea, there is nothing you can do about it later. It will become a permanent mark on you record, and will have damaging effects on your future.
