Drug Defense Attorney in Lawrenceville

Question: Hello, I was recently arrested for a misdemeanor possession of marijuana, and a few weeks later I was then arrested for misdemeanor shoplifting.
I was wondering what I can do to make the best of this situation and what the outcome would be as far as sentencing will go since the trials are on separate days.

Answer: You can go to counseling to figure out why you are getting high and stealing stuff. The shoplifting case will be the most interesting, because most retailers have a ton of cameras capturing everything. SO, IF you insist on having a trial, and you are found guilty, you should expect to go to jail. Not long, but jail nonetheless. By the time you do time on the theft case, you may sober up for the marijuana trial. Good luck.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
