First offenders Act

I was arrested on 7/3/02 for simple poss of marijuane. I was wanting to pled the first offenders act. I had a criminal background check and when I was 17 I was arrested for dangerous drugs offense, but I was never convicited of it, I never went to court. Also sence I was 17 can it be used against me since I was a minor at the time.Can I plead the first offenders act?

Re: First offenders Act

We will be more than happy to help. You can use the first offender act specific to marijuana charges - OCGA statute 16-13-2. Your charge from age 17 may show up - it depends on the charge and the jurisdiction. We can discuss this in more detail in a free consultation. Please feel free to call - 1-888-883-9091/404-816-5000 or email us - [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you.
