    Exclamation Possession of < 20 Grams in Florida

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida

    Two days ago a friend of mine and I met up at a community park and started smoking a jay... Cops showed up and we disposed of it. They found it and charged us both with possesion and Trespassing because neither of us actually lived in the community in which we were caught.

    I'm 18 and this is my first offense. Realizing that I can't afford any kind of lawyer has me very nervous and Im wondering as to what I can be facing (My court date is set for the 25th of March). Are there any options I can take to make this charge stay off my record? Will I need a lawyer to do so? I'm a senior in High School and don't want this affecting my Future plans.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Have you considered seeing if your parents will help you get a lawyer? I assume you still live at home.

    You're not likely to go to jail for a first offense, but you're looking at probation, fines, possible drug testing during your probation, possible community service, a possible driver's license suspension, and a criminal record. A local lawyer is the best person to advise you on how to avoid a criminal record.
