Now, let’s break down those common mistakes you need to avoid.
1. Speaking Too Freely
After a drug charge, there’s one thing you must remember: anything you say can and will be used against you. So, keep those lips sealed and let your attorney do the talking. No social media. Keep the circle tight.
2. Skipping the Legal Representation
Taking on the legal system by yourself? Big mistake. This isn’t DIY territory. You need experienced professionals (like us at The McShane Firm) who know the system and how to use it in your favor.
3. Ignoring the Importance of the Preliminary Hearing
The preliminary hearing isn’t just another appointment on your calendar; it’s an opportunity to challenge the prosecution’s evidence. Failing to fully utilize this can be a costly mistake.
4. Not Considering Diversion Programs
For first-time offenders, diversion programs are an excellent option. These alternatives focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment, and successful completion can even lead to your charges being dismissed.
5. Neglecting the Long-Term Impact
A drug possession charge doesn’t end with fines or jail time; it can also impact future employment, housing, and education opportunities. Always consider the long-term effects when strategizing your defense.
