Client was caught selling heroin and fake heroin to an undercover police officer. This led the client to being charged with one count of Trafficking in Heroin, a felony of the fourth degree, and one count of Trafficking in Counterfeit Drugs, a felony of the fourth degree as well. The client was facing a possible maximum prison term of 36 months and a maximum fine of $10,000.00. Additionally, the client could receive anywhere from six months up to a three-year license suspension from the Ohio BMV since this was a drug-related offense. The client retained Attorney Zachuary Meranda to assist her with her legal needs and to guide her through this legal process. Attorney Meranda was able to work out credit for time served with an added condition of completing a residential treatment program as one of her terms of community control. This allowed the client to avoid going to prison on these felonies and allowed her to address her underlying drug addictions.
