So my older kid (18) fucked up last night. Long story short gets pulled over and allegedly has a small bag of dope with him, plus a couple other charges related to the stop. Gets to spend the night cooling off in jail. This is where I need some help and I guess maybe an attorney referral if anyone practices or has connections in the metroplex. Any other advice appreciated. This is all his first offense.

I assume "dope" means devils lettuce?

As a youthful first offender, I think chances are excellent he gets deferred adjudication that may be expunged if he successfully completes it.

I don't think it's going to take Dick DeGuerin or Rusty Hardin to obtain such a resolution.

Clint Broden is a guy I know, but he's become something of a superstar and this might be below his radar and he's probably pretty expensive.

Buck Johnson I think is a pretty good more workaday lawyer.

If it PG2 it’s probably THC and the kid might get better than deferred adjudication, which is NOT expungeable

I'm sorry . . . second degree felony . . . for dope?

I think the concentrations in vape pens come with a pretty hefty penalty actually. I don’t have the issue anymore but my oldest son (I actually have 3 sons, 2 still live with me) was vaping a lot during Covid and it was bad enough I tried that scare tactic / at least warn him not to have it on him while in a car. Seems really odd to have that high of a penalty. But it’s there.

Apparently nobody here DOES know Betty Blackwell?

 

She's gotta be dead considering the age of those commercials. Also no one on TV does what you're looking for

I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe consider putting the system on trial?

You're out of order!
