What Are the Penalties for Marijuana Possession in Kitsap County?

    "Saved me from hefty fines."
    Amazing lawyers, they helped me out every step of the way. Are extremely professional, and patient, very grateful they took on my case. They got my charges dropped, and saved me a ton of $ that would otherwise be spent on fines, court costs etc. They are also affordable compared to other firms which charge a ridiculous amount of $. They even let me set up a payment plan, which they didn’t have to do. I highly recommend.
