Whether you were issued a notice to appear (NTA) for possession of a small amount of marijuana or you were arrested for something more serious such as possession with intent to distribute near a school, you need to take these charges very seriously.  Not only do marijuana charges come with the possibility of jail time, they could also threaten your academic and professional future as well as your driving privileges.  If you are being charged with a marijuana or cannabis offense, your number one concern should be keeping your record clean.  That is also the number one concern of Ft. Lauderdale criminal defense attorney Antonio Quinn when he is defending his clients against those types of charges

Possible Defenses in Marijuana or Cannabis Cases

The odor or smell or marijuana provides the police with probable cause to search a vehicle and this is how most marijuana arrests occur.  The police will often point to the smell of marijuana as a "catch all" in order to justify a search which would otherwise not be legally valid.  The fact of the matter is that many marijuana arrests are the result of illegal searches by the police.  It requires the analysis of an experienced criminal defense attorney to recognize when an illegal search has taken place and to fight for his client's rights in court.  Broward marijuana lawyer Antonio Quinn takes an aggressive approach when dealing with possession and trafficking cases.  The first evaluation is always going to be whether or not the police officer had the legal right to stop or search the client.  If a violation of a client's rights is discovered, Attorney Quinn will fight to have that case dismissed through a motion to suppress.  When you meet with Ft. Lauderdale marijuana attorney Antonio Quinn, he will examine all aspects of the case against you for weaknesses.  Were you illegally searched?  Were you entrapped by the police?  Are the police seeking to charge you with intent to distribute when it is not applicable?
