Thank you
You would need to file an appeal under Rule 35(c). If you are incarcerated, you should request an attorney to assist you with this. If not, you should consult with a private attorney because these petitions are very complicated and you will need detailed legal guidance.
I was driving and got pulled over for not fully stopping at a stop sign. I had an odor of weed in my car. They gave me a notice of seizure and intent to forfeit. How do I get it back?
Hiring an attorney is going to be the best chance. At a minimum you should get a consult.
The charge is now preventing me from getting my ccw in Ohio and I feel like it’s ridiculous to not be able to do so based on a charge from 14 years ago when I was a stupid kid.
Many sheriffs will not issue a CCW permit until you seal minor convictions like this. You can apply to the court to have the record sealed and the it likely won’t be an issue anymore.
My headlight was out and i got pulled over had to reach into my glove box to get my papers and my pipe was in there the officer smelled it and took it but never gave me a ticket but now i have to appear for court this don't seem legal
They don't have to issue a ticket right away. They can send you a summons and complaint later. This often happens in paraphernalia cases because they send the substance in for lab testing before charging someone. You should get a lawyer.
There has been no court date set. This has been a pending charge since February 2020. The court has offered me a disposed disposition for the citation. I have asked my attorney if they can move court date up, and they have not been able to assist me. I need the fastest solution possible; this... Read more »

First and foremost, you are NOT allowed to consume legal cannabis in the following places: ANY public place or area; ANY location where tobacco smoking is prohibited; Within 1,000 feet of a school, etc. So the question becomes, where is this car? If on the street, probably not, as the street is a... Read more »

Medical marihuana use was divulged during interview, they still offered a position. Now they say - will not hire you unless a drug test can be passed.

1st time offender charged with trafficking marijuana completed parole issue free have 25 deferred. Can I qualify for expungement? In Oklahoma
You say you have 25 deferred. Do you mean suspended? It looks like from the title of your question (by your use of 10/25) that you received maybe a 25-year sentence with the first 10 years to serve for trafficking marijuana, and you were paroled at some point while serving the 10 years, is that...

My apartment complex won’t do anything about it what can I do ?
One thing you can do is ask your landlord to move you to another apartment. It would be at your expense. I suppose you've already talked to the neighbor, and he's refused to make accommodations for you.

On table and found small amount of marijuana. I was arrested for misdemeanor parafinalia and misdemeanor possession. Can I get this dismissed?
It’s very possible. While this falls under the “plain view” exception to a warrantless search, many counties in Alabama have a PreTrial Diversion program that allows for the dismissal of the charges once you complete the program. I’d find a good criminal lawyer and ask them about filing out... Read more »
I have never been charged with anything before. The judge told me I can plead guilty and receive a fine or plead not guilty. If I plead guilty do I automatically receive a fine or can I ask for a marijuana ACD? Do they offer it or do I have to plead not guilty for a marijuana ACD?
You should be retaining counsel and not pleading to anything until you two have gone over the facts, ramifications and potential solutions to your issue.
Purchasing marijuana is legal in the District of Columbia. What I'm guess you are asking is if you can bring it back into Virginia and possess it. Possession of Marijuana is not legal in the state of Va but it was just decriminalized - which make it a civil penalty of $25 for possession of... Read more »
