How Do Drug Cases Get Dismissed?
Yes. If you are a first-time offender on a drug possession, your case can be dismissed. This could also be taken off your record. Your criminal defense lawyer can submit a motion to suppress in the court and ask that any evidence acquired as an outcome of that prohibited search get thrown away.
