What is the name of your state? Florida
My 21 year old son was arrested for possession of marijuana under 20 grams (half a blunt). He has no prior arrests, and has a court date in 3 weeks for this. Do we need to retain an attorney? People are telling us (including the arresting officer) that basically they'll give him drug classes to attend and test him periodically for drugs in his system.
Since he really has do defense, what's the benefit or necessity of having a lawyer present?
