Re: Possession in Florida
You should be focusing at this point on trying to avoid a conviction, not on the future possibility of expunging a conviction, and should be working with a criminal defense lawyer to try to make that happen.
Re: Possession in Florida
That is my goal, to avoid the conviction. That's what I meant when I said getting my charges dropped. I now have a criminal lawyer and he said with all the preparation I'm doing (with NA, drug testing, etc) I should be better off than most. Nevertheless I am still worried. A felony is a scary thing.
Re: Possession in Florida
Try to atleast get the felony reduced to a misdeamanor.
Re: Possession in Florida
I'm very confident the charges will be at least dropped to a misdemeaner. Being a first time offender and doing so many things proactively before going to court should help my case. I am hoping that I can opt for a drug treatment program or the like and have the charges dropped. I know that it happens sometimes in Florida for cases similar to mine. I just have to hope for the best.
