Manhattan, KS Criminal Defense

A Manhattan, KS criminal defense attorney can help you if you've been arrested or charged with a crime or even a minor traffic infraction in Manhattan, KS or the surrounding communities.  Possession of Marijuana and other illegal substances can land you jail time and major fines.  On your second Marijuana offense, you're automatically charged with a felony. 

Even more exasperating, if you're charged with possession more then enough Marijuana for "personal use" you may be charged with intent to distribute and no tax stamp.  In order to get a tax stamp, you must go to the Kansas State Treasurer's office and obtain a tax stamp to affix to whatever "product" is in your possession.   (If you're feeling a bit of outrage at this, you share my sentiment).

The important thing to remember is that when you have been arrested in Manhattan, KS call a Manhattan, KS attorney as soon as possible to discuss your case and preserve your rights.
