Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

My fiance was with a couple buddies during a big drug deal. I pound of weed. The only thing that he had on him was a lighter. He full cooperated with the police. His bail was set at 3000 dollars. The officer who took the report wrote the wrong last name. He was charged with conspiracy to distribute marijuana. what would be a good way to approach this charge. Can he get off because the wrong name was written down?

No, your boyfriend will "not get off because the wrong name was written

down." And, a good way for your boyfriend to approach this charge would be first

and foremost to hire a competent criminal defense counsel who may

knpw something about the way such cases are handled in the court

in which your boyfriend has been charged.

Some people try to learn lawyering on their own. It really does not help. It is much more expensive to do things the right way the first time around. There is much more involved to be a good attorney than some think. There is a reason for so much education and practice. Good luck. Attorney Sheryl Shane. Web: [email protected]. Tel. 703 503 4448.
