Advocating for You When Facing Marijuana Charges
Despite what you may believe about the need for legalization or medicinal uses of marijuana, a conviction can carry serious prison time. At The Law Offices of Sharon Chirichillo in Olympia, Washington, we serve as your most aggressive advocate if you are arrested for marijuana possession, trafficking or intent to sell.
Marijuana possession is treated the same as any other drug charge. Depending on the amounts and the severity of the crime, you could be charged with a felony. Contact us at 360-709-2188 or toll free at 877-839-2970.
When Police Fall Short and Violate Your Rights
At The Law Offices of Sharon Chirichillo, what your attorney won't do is immediately accept a plea bargain. What your attorney will do is focus on your rights, starting with the search and seizure aspects of your arrest for marijuana possession, growing or sale. A routine traffic stop for speeding can lead to a police officer asking to search your car or quickly scanning inside the vehicle while speaking to you. Simply put, that violates your rights.
Clients also come to us after a raid on their home based on an informant's tip. Prior to that arrest, the police need to take careful steps in securing a warrant. Informants must be credible and reliable. When law enforcement falls short, we take the steps necessary to ensure your rights.
Dealing with Addiction Issues in Marijuana Possession Charges
Many drug possession arrests occur following a long-term addiction. Marijuana possession charges are no different. Seeking counseling can not only be an important decision in recovering from the addiction, but also can also show the courts that you are serious about turning your life around.
