Juvenile’s Drug Trafficking Charge Withdrawn

Our client was charged with an ungraded misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled substance and an ungraded felony count of drug trafficking. Our client was a juvenile, which made it unlikely that he would go to jail, but having these charges on his record could have had a significant impact on his future.

We took on his case and reviewed the police reports underlying the possession of a controlled substance and drug trafficking charges. We realized that our client had been improperly charged with the felony offense. That’s not uncommon. We negotiated with prosecutors and were able to get the felony charge withdrawn. As long as our client remained trouble-free for the next five years, his record could be fully expunged and the possession of a controlled substance and drug trafficking charges wouldn’t affect his future.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
