First Time Drug Offender Program for Misdemeanor Drug Charges
For some people who have been arrested and charged with a first offense possession of marijuana, they may qualify for the First Time Drug Offender Program in Virginia, which allows people to complete community service and a drug awareness class during a probationary period. If these and other requirements are completed during this period, the drug charge is dismissed and no further penalties are assessed.
This program can be quite beneficial for individuals who have never been in trouble with the law before and who will likely never be in trouble with the law again. A criminal conviction on your record can make it much more difficult to find opportunities for employment, housing, secondary education and others and having the charge dismissed may allow you to avoid many of those limitations.
Of course, this program is not for everyone. When your situation requires, we are willing and able to thoroughly investigate your charge and prepare a thorough defense that meets your needs. We will look at the gathering of evidence in your case and other events alleged by the police to determine if your rights were upheld. Mr. Courtnall is a seasoned litigator with more than 50 trials in his years as a prosecutor and a defense attorney.
