Drug Offenses Attorney Lawrenceville

Question: My friend was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute in March of this year and this was his first offense. He was found guilty and sentenced to 2 years. I have spoken with a lot of people and everyone seems to think he will only serve 6-8 months but the times I have spoken with the parole board, they say to expect for him to serve the whole 2 years. Is there any way I could speed this process up? Or is there any way to know for sure when he will be able to come home? He has said that the county jail has been releasing people early with similar charges, could that be the case for him as well? Please help!

Answer: Speed up what process? Making time go slower or faster? No one knows that trick. There is no way to predict the future and tell you exactly when he is getting out. More importantly, how are you going to be able to predict that once he gets out he will stay out.

Question: I was arrested for possession of a fire arm and intent to distribute weed.... If this is my first felony charge and I plea my first offenders will I face jail time?

Answer: 1st offender does not keep you out of jail/prison. It only provides that you have no felony conviction. So, your record, your facts and your prosecutor dictates what your actual plea offer will be. Click here for info on how plea offers are constructed

Question: Do i have the right to face the person in court that planted drugs on me, then called the police and had me arrested?

Answer: Probably NOT. The police located drugs on you. Your defense is he/she planted drugs on you. Therefore, you must find, subpoena and call as a witness the person you claim planted drugs on you. I assume the drugs were planted on you, and you absolutely nothing about them, and have never been arrested for drugs before. Good luck.
