Maryland Marijuana Posession Lawyer

Arrested for a Marijuana Possession in Maryland? Utilize my experience as a former prosecutor to get the best result!

Being arrested with the possession of marijuana can be quite frightening. Although it may not be seem as serious as some drug offenses, marijuana possession is still a criminal offense under Maryland law that carries potential jail time. When up against charges like these you want to be certain you have the right attorney to help you protect your rights and fight to avoid a permanent criminal record.

I have prosecuted and defended many marijuana cases in the state of Maryland. From minor possession charges to those involving the intent to distribute, or actual distribution. I know what to expect in court and can help you get the best result. I have helped to qualify many first time offenders for Maryland's Marijuana Diversion Program, keeping their record clean of conviction if they work with the system that is in place to rehabilitate.

I have also had great results in having charges entirely thrown out due to law enforcement error. Proper search and seizure laws must always be followed, but the police can be sloppy. If your rights were violated, you case should be dismissed. This also applies to situations in which you may have been driving or passenger of a vehicle in which someone else possessed marijuana or other contraband.

Facts about Maryland Marijuana Laws:

Possession of marijuana, regardless of the amount, is a misdemeanor offense in the state of Maryland.

If convicted of this crime you could face up to 1 year in jail and fines up to $1,000.

If you are caught with a significant quantity of marijuana, your charge could be elevated to possession with intent to distribute, which carries much harsher terms. Other items seized at the time of arrest could also lead to an intent to distribute charge.

If this isn't your first marijuana offense, the potential sentence can be doubled by the judge. For this reason and because these are serious charges, you need someone working tirelessly for a positive outcome on your case.

Having prosecuted and defended many marijuana cases in Maryland, I know what you are up against and have the knowledge and experience to help your situation.
