First Degree Marijuana and Weapons Charges Reduced to Misdemeanor

I represented a man charged with Criminal Possession of Marijuana in the First Degree and Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree in the Suffolk County Supreme Court. I was hired after bail had been set at one million dollars with prior counsel, and my client faced upwards of a decade in state prison. I re-argued bail and got it lowered to $400,000, which my client posted. I then successfully moved the court to dismiss the marijuana charge, and negotiated a disposition to a misdemeanor with no jail and no probation. The District Attorney's Office also agreed to return a large sum of cash seized at the time of arrest. My client told me I was his attorney for life.
