Q: What are the chances of getting a charge of Int poss contr substance by per not reg dismissed or reduced?
Being held in prison for traffic tickets and the possession charge. Has a detainer from Berks county for probation violation.
A: it depends but you need to contact a lawyer right away. If you have a detainer you need to hire an experienced lawyer to help you through this.

A: It would depend on the facts of the case. I cannot answer with the limited facts provided. In general, the DA's office usually pursues the possession charges, though. However, there could be suppression issues that an experienced attorney could find to suppress the controlled substances which would lead to a dismissal of the charges. The bigger problem for this person could be the probation violation detainer and re-sentence if he is found guilty or pleads to this new offense. This person definitely needs a attorney for representation. Some attorneys, like me, offer free consultations. Good luck to you both.

A: Depends on the circumstances. Looks like some serious issues, worth getting a consultation from an attorney.
