Yes, it's possible to get these charges reduced to a lesser offense and keep them off your permanent criminal record. You need to hire an attorney to represent you.

What kind of attorney do I need to fight a wrongful drug possession charge?

Christopher L Hoglin
Answered by attorney Christopher L Hoglin
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Christopher L. Hoglin
Your son needs an experience criminal defense attorney, who is familiar with drug laws, search and seizure laws, and how to argue "possession" charges. If your son did not have possession or control over the 4g of marijuana that his friend had, then he cannot be found guilty of possessing marijuana. However, in CA, possession of such a small amount of marijuana will usually be reduced to an Infraction, where your son will likely have a pay a small fine (about $100). However, if your son need to keep a clean record, paying the fine and pleading guilty to an Infraction may not be his best choice.

Can I be charged with public intoxication after I was accused of theft?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Russell S Pietryga (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Pietryga Law Office
A defendant is guilty of intoxication if they are under the influence of alcohol, a controlled substance, or any substance having the property of releasing toxic vapors, to a degree that the person may endanger the person or another, in a public place or in a private place where the defendant unreasonably disturbs the peace. Moreover, a bar would be considered a public place. You can be charged. However, convicted is another story all together. First, it is very difficult to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt that you endangered yourself or another. Additionally, a bar is going to be reluctant to have its employees admit that you were a danger and they kept serving you. The bar's liquor license could be in jeopardy, if they kept serving you, even though, you were a danger. Personally, I feel, based on how you explain the facts, the prosecution will have a tough time proving this case beyond a reasonable doubt. Hope this helps.
