    Default First Time Offense - Possession of Cocaine

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Nevada

    Let me start out with a couple facts : I am 18 years of age, live in California, have no prior criminal history at all (not even a speeding ticket), am going to a good relatively well-known private university, did community service through high school and graduated with a GPA above 3.0 from a well-respected private high school

    --------------------------------------

    I was attending the Electronic Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas Nevada, and was arrested on Saturday night for possesion of cocaine. I had 1.8 grams on me. I was complacent with all the officers involved, and was given an OR at Clark County Detention Center. I have a court date scheduled for late August.

    My questions are as follows : will i be able to get this off my record? how much will representation cost me? what will my likely punishments be?

    thank you

    If you want to know what local lawyers will charge to represent you, you need to call some law firms and talk to some lawyers. There's no set fee.

    As a first time offender with a solid background, I would expect that you'll qualify for a drug diversion or deferral program, which will allow you to avoid a conviction if you successfully complete a period of supervision.
