Probation & No Jail in Possession of Cocaine for Sale case

September 2012

Michael A. Goldstein’s client was arrested with an ounce of cocaine, 2 ounces of marijuana and several prescription pills following the execution of a search warrant at his place of business. The client had a prior conviction for sales of marijuana. The client retained Michael because his previous attorney could not get the cocaine charge dismissed or keep him out of jail. Michael met with the DA and a disposition was reached wherein the cocaine charges were dismissed and the client entered a plea of no contest to an alternative charge that will be reduced to a misdemeanor following the completion of community service.
