Marijuana Offenses May Be Eligible For Conditional Discharge
Our firm represents non-U.S. citizens arrested for drunk driving, weapons violations, identity theft and more. We are familiar with and confident in handling all criminal matters. We very frequently handle marijuana offenses for non-U.S. citizens and have been successful in securing their eligibility in a diversion program called “conditional discharge.”
Conditional discharge is exclusively for marijuana charges. When a non-U.S. citizen is arrested, he or she is placed under supervised probation for a maximum of three years. When the individual completes the program, he or she will avoid having a record of conviction, although the arrest will still exist on his or her record. The arrest record can be expunged at a later date.
