I have been charged with possession, and paraphernalia, this is my first offense and I'm hoping to get probation before judgment. I don't know what to say at the preliminary inquiry, is there any advice you can give me?

You should speak with an attorney before going to court on your own. An attorney may be helpful in advising you regarding plea negotiations, etc.
I'd be happy to speak with you - do a search for my name for contact information.
Re: Possession of marijauna and paraphernalia
You need not say anything at the preliminary inquiry. The preliminary inquiry is a formality in which the Judge explains your rights, the maximum penalty, and advises you to get an attorney. Say nothing because anything you say could be used against you.
You may be eligible for certain "diversion" programs where the charges could be dropped. This would be a better result than a probation before judgment. As always, consult with an attorney before you do anything.

Re: Possession of marijauna and paraphernalia
Do not say anything at the preliminary inquiry! And if your case is in Charles County, it is very important to know the judges and prosecutors down there, because your results can vary widely depending upon who handles the case. You should get an attorney who is familiar with Charles county (like myself).
