“A simple ‘thank you’ can’t possibly express how much I appreciate your hard work, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to my case. I was accused of felony drug possession and driving while on a suspended license. I knew the district attorney was pushing for 3 years in state prison because of the seriousness of the offenses combined with my prior criminal record. You explained to me my rights and protections under the constitution and how the Fourth Amendment applied to my case. The motion you drafted to suppress evidence was powerful and explicitly written. The judge and district attorney must have agreed with your arguments because BOTH CHARGES WERE DISMISSED. Words cannot express the appreciation and relief I felt as I freely walked out of the courthouse with my Mom and kids. This is all thanks to my Wallin & Klarich attorney’s dedication and knowledge of the law pertaining to my case. I highly recommend the legal services of Wallin & Klarich to anyone who wants an attorney to stand by his or her side every step of the way to arduously fight to protect his or her rights and freedom.”

Sentencing and Punishment for Possession of Marijuana Under HS 11357
Possessing more than 28.5 grams of marijuana can result in misdemeanor conviction and subject the person to up to six months in county jail and a five hundred dollar fine ($500). However, possessing more than 28.5 grams of marijuana can be an indication that there was an intention to sell. This will subject the defendant to a felony conviction and up to three years in state prison. See California Health and Safety Code Section 11359.
Possessing not more than 28.5 grams of marijuana will result in a misdemeanor conviction and will most likely result in a fine of one hundred dollars ($100). However, if the defendant has three or more prior convictions of possessing marijuana within two years of the current charge, the defendant may be referred for education, treatment, or rehabilitation to an appropriate community program. See California Penal Code Section 1000.1, 1000.2.
Possession of marijuana charges also differ in punishment if the defendant is found to be in possession on school grounds. See California Health and Safety Code Section 11357(d)-(e). A defendant can also lose his or her driver’s license if convicted of possession of marijuana while driving and is under the age of 21. See California Vehicle Code Section 13202.5.
