Good Lawyer Question

Question

Ok so I know someone who got arrested for having marijuana on him.

They live in PA around Media. They don't know a good lawyer and need a cheap one. They can't really afford an expensive one. He was arrested at 17 about a week ago but turned 18 today.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

How much pot?  A joint or two, at 17, he will probably get probation. If however he was caught with a large amount, he could face jail time, like a year. If this is a serious charge, a lawyer will be appointed to him by the court at no charge.

Answer 2

Visit www.lawyers.com.  I found a terrific attorney on here.  They have a Q&A section and refer attorneys.  

Or, you can call your local bar association and get a referral.  http://www.delcobar.org/

Best of luck!
