Re: non-narcoatic charge

What kind of plea bargain your son can work out depends on the facts of each case. I would assume the court-appointed lawyer is getting him the best deal possible, but you never know. If you have the money to retain a lawyer, I would suggest you contact me immediately to step in before he enters into a plea. Keep in mind there may be some facts that you don't know, and prosecutors, cops and judges deal with pill cases all the time, and may simply not believe your son, and there is nothing you can do about it, except ensure you have an aggressive lawyer to represent your son.

Thanks.
