Columbus Marijuana Defense Attorney

Facing Charges of Marijuana Possession?

Being charged with any type of drug crime in our state can lead to devastating legal consequences that can not only affect you now, but also well into the future. Depending on a defendant's prior legal record and the severity of the crime they are being charged with, the penalties for drug possession, sales or distribution or trafficking of marijuana can include:

  • Incarceration
  • Fines
  • Court ordered drug classes or rehabilitation program
  • Criminal record that can be accessed by potential employers, leasing agents and anyone else wishing to perform a basic background check on your criminal history.

Due to the fact that your future freedom and legal record could potentially be at stake, it is imperative that you seek the legal representation of a highly competent Columbus criminal defense attorney if you are facing charges for any crime involving marijuana. Drug crimes, even for simple possession, are vigorously prosecuted and you will need strong and experienced advocacy in your legal matter in order to maximize your chances of winning your case.

Have Questions?

We Have Answers!
  • Should I be worried if I am innocent?
    The short answer to this question is yes. Our legal system, though endowed with powerful rights and time-tested procedures, is far from perfect. Proclaiming yourself innocent is far from a legal defense, and you will need the assistance of an experienced attorney to gather information and refute evidence. It is a sad fact that innocent people are sometimes convicted of crimes they did not commit. If you have been arrested, a team member from The Meranda Law Firm LTD, serving both Columbus and Newark, can go to immediate work on constructing a strong defense and on seeking to have unfounded charges dropped.
  • What important legal rights am I entitled to?
    If you find yourself crossways with the law, you have important rights that must be protected. First, you have the right to be informed of your rights by police should you be arrested. You have the right to remain silent, which can help you avoid self-incrimination. You also have the right to avoid subjection to an unreasonable search and seizure. Perhaps most importantly is your right to an attorney, and should you face criminal investigation or arrest, you should be in immediate contact with a Columbus criminal defense attorney for knowledgeable and skilled legal counsel.
  • Why should I hire a criminal defense attorney?
    When you are facing a criminal charge, whether a misdemeanor or a felony, your future stands at serious risk. Not only do you face the prospect of jail time, fines, and probation, but if you are convicted you will also carry with you a permanent criminal record that can make such things as obtaining employment, educational opportunities and housing problematic. A lawyer can make sure that your legal rights are well-protected and that a strong defense is mounted on your behalf. Going it alone in the criminal justice system can put you in peril of many unwanted consequences.
