Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York
If you were at the park late with a friend just talking and the cops charge you for smoking and drug possession in which we weren't smoking.There also weren't drugs on us. Are we still guilty if they found marijuana near us?

You are not guilty if the crime you were charged with did not occur. However, you still must appear in Criminal Court to answer those charges. My office has had great success in obtaining dismissals and reduced charges to misdemeanor marijuana possession charges.
Please contact my office for a reduced fee quote to handle this matter for you and your friend.

Jason is right and you should not expect jail time, but it would be highly recommended to have an experienced lawyer with you defending you and preserving your rights in court. It would also greatly increase the chance of lowering the charges or possible dismissal. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases and reasonable fees, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
