Harris County Marijuana Possession Attorney Andy Nolen has been on the case in Texas for over 20 years. In that time he has represented over 3000 clients and also had hundreds of those cases dismissed completely.Getting convicted of an offense regarding drugs of any kind has very considerable potential ramifications, therefore leaving your case to chance would wind up being a huge problem. Attorney Andy Nolen has worked on all types of drug cases though most frequently they're marijuana possession cases.
Andy Nolen feels there are 5 things you may want to know when faced with a marijuana possession charge:
1.The most common way marijuana cases are beaten are either that there was an Illegal Search and Seizure or that there was lack of Affirmative Links between a defendant and the drugs. If the search was in fact bad, the evidence can be suppressed. Affirmative Links disputes are scenarios similar to when there are 4 people in a car and the state can’t prove the drugs belonged to any individual person. Also regarded as, "It was the other guy not me."
2. A conviction for marijuana possession can result in your losing qualifications for certain forms of federal financial aid for school. Some schools may expel you if the drug offense was committed on school property. So not only will a person lose your drivers license, you may also lose your degree or diploma.
3. Marijuana residue such as tiny amounts in a pipe or bag is a felony if it really is a controlled substance. Marijuana has to be a usable amount to be a crime.
4. In the event you have been charged with a marijuana drug crime, it is nearly a certainty that you will be tested for drugs at some point. That will probably be while your on bond and even the first time you go to court. Marijuana can easily stay in your system for up to 6 weeks. Products produced to beat the system do not work, so don’t count on them. Don’t do drugs of any type while on bond or you risk having your bond revoked and going to jail. Also, you don't want to appear to be an active drug consumer to the court making your case much more problematic.
5. A marijuana drug conviction in Texas will result in the loss of your drivers license. That will then add more surcharges and reinstatement fees that can cost $1000. You will also need to take the Drug Offender Education Program (D.O.E.P.).The class is for individuals who have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony drug offense. This class will satisfy the requirement for education because of a suspended driver’s license. The standardized program is 15 hours in length taught in three-hour segments.
