Caught with less than one ounce of weed?

Miss. Joe

I would ask for legal advise. There are usually public defenders available and free legal advise given, I highly suggest he seeks that help for his legal matters!

Take a laywer and tell him to stop doing it or dealing it!

If you're in Texas that's a misdemeanor. A lawyer is definately a good idea, expecially if this is his first offense. He'll be able to make some kind of deal with comminty service and may be able to keep it off his record if he's a juvenile.

MsAmy

yeah i think he should take a lawer! but then its less the an oz, i seen people just gt charged with a fine! so thats would be up to you and what state your in, i'm in Minnesota!

An attorney can best represent your brothers interests, in this case. Your brother will be to emotionally involved to look out for himself.

Different states have different laws, but in the end, he will not serve jail time. He will have a record though.

It depends on what state/county/city he is in...different places have different drug laws, some are much more lenient than others. I would recommend a lawyer, though.

Depends what he is charged with. He is facing Jail time or other serious penalties. If so, then yes you should get a lawyer. If you do not know then you should at least consult one to find out where you stand. Note laws very from state to state so I would not take simple advice off this site.

Depends on where he lives. Podunk, Mississippi...I'd take a lawyer. San Francisco, California...I'm surprised he even has to go to court. Seems like a pretty minor offense. Tell him to be very respectful, deferential (lots of "yes sirs" and "no sirs") and don't say anything other than to answer specific questions he's asked. Wear a suit, be humble, keep your mouth shut. He'll probably get a small fine.

lawyer, unless he wants to risk jail time in Attica

cory h

She should be a man and show up without his mommy "I meant lawyer". He is only gonna get a spanking. It's only weed. I'd really hope the courts have bigger fish to fry.

Mr. Wiseguy

tell him to take a lawyer or have a lawyer meet him there. it's always a good idea.

Nimaeve

He'd be much, much better off with a lawyer. If you're in the US, its his right to be represented by a lawyer. And the saying goes " the guy who represents himself has a fool for a client." is usually way too true.

Dev J

Yes he should espically if he is not that knowledgeable in law. You never know what them police are going to pull

In reality according to our constitution he should take a Milita because even being harassed for Marijuana should be cruel and unusual punishment. We had a constitution that would stop criminalizing the citizens for no good reason. Apparently the biggest crime in your brothers case is the law itself. Tell him get a lawyer no matter what state, a lawyer can get it dismissed!

Solita

If it is his first charge have him ask for a plea bargain like a 6 month deferred, and for him to promise not to get in trouble again, they will keep it off his record. That is only a misdemeanor anyway....

A lawyer will only take his money, this is not a huge deal, he should be able to cop a nice plea with the county/city attorney.
