Depending on the substance and quantity involved, your case might be charged as a misdemeanor, and you might be given a ticket instead of a booking into jail. That doesn't necessarily mean that you have nothing to worry about.
A guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of any kind creates a criminal record, and criminal records have continuing consequences. Even in cases involving small quantities of marijuana, you can expect problems with prospective employers and landlords after they do a background search.
If you're a college student or planning on continuing or completing your education later on, you should know that a conviction of even marijuana possession can disqualify you from student loans. Licensed professionals across the range of regulated occupations can expect disciplinary proceedings before an Idaho administrative board.
That's why our attorneys concentrate on winning your case rather than finding an acceptable charge for a guilty plea. If we can keep the evidence of drug possession out of the record, we'll do so by challenging a traffic stop, search of a car, or search of your home. If we can bypass the criminal justice system through diversion or drug court options, we'll pursue those options, too.
