Re: dui cocaine possession

It is important that you have no prior criminal record when your attorney tries to negotiate a resolution. The fact that the baggie was found after you were brought into the jail facility likely will not matter since it would have been a felony regardless. You should certainly hire a lawer in your area based on the serious nature of the charges.
