Marijuana Charges

Individuals in possession of marijuana are frequently overcharged. Under the Michigan statute, which refers to marijuana in an alternative spelling (marihuana), individuals that are charged with drug possession may be facing large fines and prison terms. However, the "use" of marijuana carries lesser consequences. When discussing your case with our firm, we can advise you of the exact terminology in the Michigan statute and explain how we may proceed with the construction of a defense on your behalf.
