Can I find a lawyer famililar with possession of marijuana cases?

Christopher John McCann
Answered by attorney Christopher John McCann
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Offices of Christopher J. McCann
You have a very good case. I think you could get the evidence suppressed by showing the search was illegal. Without evidence, the case would be thrown out. Nonetheless, such an amount of marijuana has not been decriminalized recently so that it is only an infraction that calls for a $100 fine.I can definitely help you. Please feel free to contact my office for a free consultation. You can reach me, immediately and directly by calling my number: (949) 596-0060.

Can you be charge for the same crime twice if it was thrown out a year ago in another county?

Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)

It will depend on why it was "thrown out" and whether double jeopardy attached to the original charge. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal law attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

Is there a chance the judge will reduce a burglary conviction to a misdemeanor?

Philip Daniel Hache
Answered by attorney Philip Daniel Hache
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Phil Hache
It is possible, depending on the factors of the case. Usually this would be worked out with the prosecutor. It is possible that a private attorney or public defender can work out a good deal for you and get the felony reduced to a misdemeanor. Just keep in mind that public defenders have a huge case load, so they (generally speaking) are not able to spend to much time communicating with their clients. It's the nature of their job. If you are concerned and want some time discussing your case at more length, I would recommend consulting with a private attorney.
