I live in tx and facing marijuna charges. . Small amount. My husband's job relocated him to Florida. . How should I have my lawyer handle my situation? Not sure if I trust his judgment
The answer depends on where the case was filed. You should consult with a lawyer in the county where the charge is pending. If you are in Florida he may be able to do a plea in absentia. Each judge has a different rule about doing a plea when you are not present. Some will allow it and others will not. In Dallas it is possible to do a memorandum agreement that results in a dismissal without a plea but you must be present in court twice.
