You need to hire an attorney to fight for an alternative disposition instead of a conviction.

Re: Marijuana possession

My advice is to hire a criminal defense attorney to represent your son. A conviction for possession, even of marijuana, will cause a 1 year loss of licesne and prohibit financial aid in Massachusetts. Most judges beleive that decriminization will not happen and are still treating possession of small amounts seriously. Generalists know a little bit about a lot of things. Specialsits know a lot about what they specialize in. Hire a seasoned criminal defense attorney that you feel comfortable with and then trust them. I tell my clients that once they hire me, it is now my headache and if any sleep is to be lost, let it be mine.
