Re: class c felony

I am very sorry you spent time in jail. They will probably not formally charge you until after they have the lab result for the substance--six months to a year in most cases. I am also sorry to hear you lost your job. I am confused when you the case was closed in dist and municipal court. I think the chances of you getting a dismissal with the PD are extremely unlikely. Contact me directly if you'd like to talk more about the details of your case.
