Only $450 To Handle Most Breckenridge Hills, MO Misdemeanor Marijuana Possession Charge

Listed below are a few of the negative consequences you can expect if you plead guilty to a Breckenridge Hills MO marijuana charge:

1. The guilty plea will turn into a drug conviction on your permanent record
2. A simple background check will allow anyone to see it
3. If you are planning on getting a job or an apartment in the future, this will make things more difficult for you
4. And for anyone currently receiving governmental benefits, a criminal conviction such as this can end those benefits immediately

Instead of having to deal with the above consequences, here are a few things that a good Breckenridge Missouri marijuana attorney can do for you:

1. The attorney can go over the details and facts of your case to determine if a dismissal of the charges is available (especially if the police officer conducted an illegal search)
2. If that option is not available, your lawyer can work with the local prosecutor to possible secured a reduction of the charges to a lesser offense (like “littering”)
3. Or if neither of above-mentioned options are available, then the attorney can see about getting an SIS (suspended imposition of sentence) on your case (which involves a period of probation, after which the charges drop off completely)

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.
