No Jail in Medical Marijuana Grow

In this case, attorney Michael A. Goldstein’s client received no jail time in case involving sophisticated marijuana grow. At the time Michael was retained to replace the previous defense attorney, the DA was demanding a state prison sentence. Following the filing of a motion to suppress evidence, a creative deal was negotiated for no jail time and the dismissal of the cultivation charge following the completion of community service and a period of probation. More importantly, the DA agreed to allow the client to continue to smoke and possess marijuana consistent with his valid medical marijuana prescription.
