Re: SHould I plead Guilt or not Gulity

You should consult with an attorney before appearing in this matter. If the amount of marijuana is under the weight allowed then the matter will be adjourned in contemplation of dismissal under Criminal Procedure Law �170.56 but if it is over you will be charged with a very high charge and will need an attorney.

Either way I would retain counsel.

If you would like to discuss this matter you can call my office at 516.746.4747. or contact me at [email protected].
