In pop culture, marijuana is the foundation of a great deal of humor and entertainment. Comedy clubs are built on pot jokes! What is not funny however, are the punishments the State Attorney's Office may seek to impose on criminal defendants for their possession, ownership, or control of the substance. In fact, those penalties are quite serious. 20 grams of weed (marijuana, marihuana (the seed of weed), herb, cannabis, etc.) is enough to (allegedly) manufacture up to one-hundred marijuana cigarettes (joints, doobies). Not everyone that is caught with weed is carrying exactly 20 grams. In fact, people may be charged with a misdemeanor for carrying far less than the maximum threshold for a felony. The point is, you have been caught by law enforcement in possession of a substantial enough quantity of marijuana to be charged with a misdemeanor, or worse if you are a repeat offender, and/or already on  probation  for a  conviction  of a separate offense. What is the pe...

When you had kids you thought they would be off to college and moving out by eighteen, right? You supplied your kids with the materials to be successful and provided them with the resources to be great, so they can live and provide for themselves. Or so that’s what you had hoped would occur when they finished high school and earned a diploma. Then your nicely laid plan goes awry, and your kid changes the tune on the future that you both planned on. They turn into your boomerang kid. The boomerang kid is the kid that either never leaves the house and lives in their childhood room until they are past adulthood, or the kid that comes back after college or moving out after high school, but comes back home and decides without your express permission to stick around way too long. There is no way to evict someone who would never pay you rent to begin with right? Wrong, instead of an eviction you can employ another legal tactic to get your home and your space back, an  unlawful detainer...
