Oldham Criminal Defense Attorney  

If you were arrested in LaGrange, near LaGrange or somewhere close in Oldham County, Kentucky, the case very well may end up in Oldham County.  The citation will address the county, Oldham County, or maybe it says Jefferson County, Louisville, because they are very close and densely populated along the county lines.  

Items seized for forfeiture will not stay that way if the titles show liens on these items.  Or, if the car is legitimate and owned by someone, parents, then it will fail for the non-offender parents.  There is no magic amount to have or any certain way to have drugs baggaged.  

How a marijuana related case proceeds will depend on the level of the charges. However, all charges, felony or misdemeanor, start in District Court.  Ultimately, misdemeanor cases will be tried in District Court. The defendant will be arraigned at which they will enter a plea of “not guilty.” If the drugs were found through a law enforcement violation of the defendant’s constitutional rights then a Motion to Suppress any illegally seized evidence can be filed, but only in the court of jurisdiction.  A District Court cannot hear substantive motions regarding a felony drug case because they do not have the jurisdiction for a felony drug charge

Like discussed on the first pages of this website, Evidence Law is the most valuable of all the things you can learn as a Criminal Defense Attorney.  If this Motion to Suppress is successful then, depending on the facts of the case, the matter may be dismissed because no evidence can be admitted. If the case is not dismissed or we cannot obtain a favorable resolution, the matter will proceed to a trial. Given that such cases can involve constitutional issues and the complex procedural and evidentiary rules of trial, it is important that you retain an experienced attorney and one that is well versed in Kentucky Evidentiary Rules.
