Re: i need a lawyer
I, unfortunately, practice in Dade county. However, if you are in Court find out from either the in-court prosecutor, public defender and/or judge about what the plea offer is for first time offenders such as yourself. In Dade county, first time offenders usually receive a pre-trial diversion program called "drug court." It allows to enter into a narcotics anonymous program and if you succesfully complete the program, the state drops the charges.
