Ithaca Elmira Lawyer: Can you get an ACD for a Marijuana Offense in NY? CPL 170.56


Can you get an ACD (Dismissal)
for a MARIJUANA Offense
in New York?  




In this video, Attorney Mike Cyr explains about a special law in New York that allows for an "Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal" for a single marijuana offense.  

There are certain criteria that you must meet to qualify for this special law:

-you cannot have a criminal record
-you cannot have ever used this law before
-you can only be charged with 1 offense 
-you must file a legal motion (need a lawyer)

Criminal Procedure Law 170.56 is a very special law in New York that was designed to help people only charged with a marijuana offense --this includes ANY level of crime as long as you only have 1 charge.  

This law is really critical is you are charged with a marijuana offense in New York and rely on ANY Federal Student Loans or other Student Aid -- because it can help save your ability to go to college or graduate school if used right.
