Respected defense attorney Chambers Law Firm still takes many cases involving marijuana possession charges, such as:

  • Infractions: Since 2011, individuals found in possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana have been charged with an infraction. Although an infraction does not go on your criminal record, you may still want to fight it and the associated fines & fees with help from a marijuana possession lawyer in Whittier CA.
  • Misdemeanor Possession: In most cases, possession of more than 1 ounce of marijuana for personal use is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail and/or a $500 fine.
  • Felony Possession: Under state law, possession of concentrated cannabis or hashish is a “wobbler,” meaning it can be a misdemeanor or a felony depending on how the prosecution wants to treat it.
  • Possession for Sale: If police believe you intended to sell the marijuana found in your possession, you can face felony charges even if you had a small amount or a prescription for medical marijuana.
