What should I expect from my drug charges?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
Always plead "not guilty" at your first court appearance which is your arraignment. The judge explains the nature of the charges against you and informs you of what rights you have. If you qualify to have a court-appointed lawyer, they will mention that to you as well. There are no state laws covering drug paraphernalia, but most local cities, towns, or townships have ordinances against it. Usually it's a 93-day misdemeanor. Possession of marijuana of any amount is a misdemeanor as well. If it's your first offense, you will probably get probation and may even be eligible for a 7411 status or HYTA, status depending on your age, which could keep the charges off your record. You should retain or at least consult with an experienced criminal attorney for a proper case evaluation.

Is it possible for police to question a three year old child who doesn’t really comprehend what is going on?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Larry K. Dunn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Weo Office Suites, LLC
Presumably your child is being questioned as a witness or victim. The police have the right to investigate crimes which may involve young children. The parents of a young child have a right to give access to their children for questioning absent some type of court order. Likewise parents have the right to be present if they grant permission for their children to be questioned. If a parent refuses access to allow questioning and the police have reason to believe the child may be a victim of abuse, the police can involve Child Protective Services which could result in a child being removed from your home.
