I Was Arrested for Posession, Am I Going To Do Time???

bro were u pulled over by PG police? if so you will get off.  Just hire a lawyer.  You will have to pay like 800 so you can get it wiped off your record

call joesph vallario at 301-443-8100.

pm me if you have any more questions.  you should b good if this is your first offense.
 
I had 3 possession cases dismissed within 3 months with public defenders in NYC. Idk how they do things in MD but just to be on the safe side consult a lawyer. You will not do any time. Again idk how they do things in MD but you shouldn't even get probation since its your first offense, more like having to attend a program. 
If your money is tight you might be able to get away with a public defender like I did (3 times) but if you are really worried and have money def get a criminal lawyer and you will be good money

Get a lawyer. A good one so he can explain it and get you the best possible deal. Sidenote I'd recommend a lawyer even if out of nowhere they called you in for questioning bout some stuff you have no idea about. You will walk into the joint innocent and stay there charged with some @+@+. Always lawyer up, don't buy that tv @+@+ bout "if he's innocent why's he need a lawyer".

Here's what I got charged with:

CDS Possession of Marijuana, max penalty 1 yr or $1,000 fine.

CDS Possession of Paraphenalia, max penalty $500 fine.

anyone have any idea what might go down? This is my first time ever being arrested, so i'm thinking I have a good chance at just doing some kind of drug program as opposed to doing jail time.  On the other hand, though, I am Black.  I'm also a college student in good academic standing and I have a good job as an editor at a publishing company. How much of a difference will all this make?

I've got a Preliminary Inquiry in a little over a week. What is this? Should I have a lawyer for this? I hear all these horror stories about a public defender, but I don't have any money for a lawyer. If I get a Public defender will I end up doing time?

Jeez, guys. I don't wanna go to jail. I don't wanna have to stab someone my first day out of fear of "rape-dude" status.

you've been watching too many prison movies.......prison isn't like that if you just keep to yourself and mind your own business.

different states different laws, looks like that was personals for you, but now if you had it bagged up and intent to sell, then they would give you time, tell the judge you want to do a program to clean up..
