Marijuana Penalties in Missouri
Marijuana-related crimes are taken very seriously in Missouri. Possession of a gram of marijuana can result in misdemeanor charges, a one-year prison sentence and a $1,000 fine. Possession of more than 35 grams of marijuana could result in felony charges and up to seven years in prison. If you have been charged with trafficking or sale of marijuana, you could be facing decades in prison. You will also have to forfeit any money or personal property in your possession at the time of the arrest.
Our firm's founding attorney Mark A. Hammer will diligently pursue the best possible result in your case, including moving your case to drug court or getting your charges dropped or reduced. You can rely on our firm for vigorous and experienced defense.
If you are a first-time drug offender, you may be able to go to drug court and keep criminal charges off your record. We will explore every available alternative.
As an attorney for more than 25 years, including 13 years as a prosecutor, Mr. Hammer understands how the prosecution puts together drug cases and he can readily identify police reports or situations that are suspicious in nature. He will evaluate your arrest report to ensure that your rights were upheld and that any illegally obtained evidence is suppressed.
