Practice Area:Criminal defense
Date: 2014-05-15
Outcome: No jail time and our client kept her driver’s license.
Description: Our client was arrested after being stopped for an illegal tint violation.

The police searched her car and found 9 grams of marijuana and a piece of paraphernalia. She had also been on violation for a Reckless Driving charge for only a little over a month.

Originally the State was seeking a 30-day jail sentence and to take her driver’s license away for two years.

We were able to successfully negotiate with the State Attorney’s Office so that our client kept her license and received zero jail time.
