Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer if this is my first offense?
Yes. Missouri prosecutors still pursue felonies even for first-time offenders.
Can police search my car if they smell marijuana?
No. Under MO Const. Art. XIV, odor alone is not probable cause.
What if the drugs weren’t mine?
We raise this defense often. The state must prove you knew the drugs were there and had control over them.
