Only $450 To Handle Most Moline Acres, MO Misdemeanor Marijuana Possession Charges

Let’s take a look at some of the negative consequences that you will incur if you decide to plead guilty to your Moline Acres Missouri marijuana charge:

1. Pleading guilty will result in a drug conviction on your permanent record
2. that means that it will show up if someone runs a criminal background check
3. If you are trying to get a job, or rent an apartment, or even secure a student loan, this will make that goal much more difficult
4. And if you are currently receiving governmental benefits (like food stamps or unemployment benefits), then those benefits could be revoked

Now let’s take a glance at some of the beneficial outcomes that a good Moline Acres MO marijuana possession attorney can get done for you:

1. Your attorney can take a close look at the facts of your case to see if there is a chance to get the charge thrown out (especially if the police officer conducted an illegal search and seizure)
2. Your lawyer can also work with the local prosecutor to get the charges reduced to a minor offense (like “littering”) that does not show up on your record
3. and at the very least, he or she can work out an SIS (suspended imposition of sentence) with the court, Which would involve a period of probation

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.
