Case: Felony 5th Degree Possession of a Controlled Substance
Attorney: Michael J. Brandt
Result: Mike’s client was charged with Felony 5th Degree Possession of a Controlled Substance and Gross Misdemeanor Child Endangerment after the police executed a warrant on his home and found a felony amount of marijuana. Mike connected with the prosecutor and explained to her his client’s lack of criminal history and personal situation. Mike negotiated a Stay of Adjudication for the Felony drug charge and the prosecutor agreed to dismiss the child endangerment charge. As per the agreement with the prosecutor, Mike’s client pled guilty to the Felony drug charge but the Court set aside his plea and did not convict him. Instead, the Court placed Mike’s client on supervised probation for 2 years. Upon successful completion of probation, the Felony drug charge will be dismissed and Mike’s client will avoid both a conviction and any jail or prison time. Additionally, once Mike’s client completes probation, he will have the opportunity to have the records from this case sealed.
