[shithawk420]

I know a lawyer is the best answer but money is tight.anyone have exp.with pro bono?

 

[unregistered190]

Just a thought , maybe you can find a lawyer that will take payments....with that record, I think you dad is pretty much screwed w/o one. Good luck though either way!

 

[shithawk420]

Yes that was a thought.thanks man.stupid question but,would a good lawyer really make a difference or a waste of money?2500 to bail him out BTW

 

[shithawk420]

Can anybody recommend a good lawyer,and what they might cost?

 

[shithawk420]

Would it be better to try and bail him out or save the money for a lawyer and build up time in county?

when my son got nicked, rather than bail, we kept money for lawyer.

 

[shithawk420]

May I ask the out come and charges? He got out a few years ago for the same thing,so it don't look good.maybe try to bail him out and leave state change name.I know it comes back to huant you.I'm heart broken.he's 53 with a class x on record

My dad ran out the driver seat I was passenger.weed in center console.it was his but can I sign an affidavid saying it was mine?

 

[shithawk420]

I guess I should have formerly introduced my self.long time lurker from og this is my first thread.I know most of you very well and know what great guys most of you are.I'm been here for the good and the bad.
And hope maybe you guys could maybe give support or whatever.

I don't know if anyone remembers my mom ganjamama.probably not.both my parents and I are growers with tragic tales.it probably sounds cool to have parents who are growers but it all its cracked up to be.since I was little my father has been to prison off and on my whole life.and this might be the big one.

So if you great guys and gals could help me in this time of need I would be eternally great.

PS.every thing is the truth.some things are a little far fetched.don't really know where to go with this as this is my first thread ever and am new to being a member of a forum so try to bear with me.also I'm on a shitty pad so forgive any errors.damn my fingers hurt

 

[shithawk420]

Also I apologise as this is security a legal section not my life story thread.I will stay on track

Save the money for a lawyer.
Do not take the rap for the ganj found in the car. Adding charges to you will not help your father.

 

[shithawk420]

Yeah your right.thanks.

 

[mojave green]

my heart goes out to you hawk. may you see better days!

if you can't afford a lawyer maybe you can find some legal advice floating around the net. There's lots to be found but it can be a daunting process.

I would start by lookin up the driving laws for your state and carefully read them examining every word. Some states don't require a regular citizen to have a drivers license. As s matter of fact, I think I recall a supreme court rulling in a case involving Chicago Motor Coach
Look up the laws and try to understand them very clearly.

research, "Drivers license v Right to drive"

 

[shithawk420]

Wow thanks guys.he gets his first offer tommorow.I'll let you guys know how it goes.its a long story why he dont have a license but he was providing our favorite med,so he's my hero for risking his freedom for it

 

[justpassnthru]

Isn't medical use ok in that state, now? If he has a medical need??

I'd call Norml and at least get a free consultation. Most lawyers will give a free consultation. Good luck and hope it all turns out, fine. jpt

 

[shithawk420]

Thank you for the kind words jpt but even if he could get medical which as far as I know nobody has in this state,he has felony distribution which automatically means he can't get it.medical is slow in this state.still figuring out the bugs here.

 

[shithawk420]

Maybe this thread is more to vent than anything.more worried about the driving than the weed cuase the weed is misdemeanor,driving felony
