Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

nta

i received a notice to appear for poss. of canibus (less than 20 grams) but they mixed up my name on the ticket (they put my first name as my last name; and my last name as my middle name). Is this still feasible in court?

Notice to Appear, Weed Charge

Probably not going to work.

I am sure that the officer gathered enough other info that will accurately identify you. The Judge would most likely allow the state to orally amend your name on the charging document.

I would try and do what it takes to fight this one though. If you are found guilty of possession of cannabis you will loose your drivers license for up to 2 Years.

As a prosecutor and now defense attorney here in Broward I have handled tons of these cases.

Give me a ring as soon as possible and we can work on a winning defense.
