Collateral Consequences of a Marijuana Conviction

If an individual has a job that requires a professional license, it may be suspended or revoked. Consequences can also include losing access to federal student aid or being expelled from university if the offender is currently a student.
For this reason, it's important to retain a Texas criminal defense attorney. To reduce the chances of having to deal with the collateral consequences of a felony conviction, contact Law Offices of David Sloane, PLLC today.
