Can I get my case "CWOFd" - continued without a finding, filed without a finding, etc, so there is not a conviction on my record?

Unlike our neighbor, Massachusetts, NH law does not allow even a first offense DWI to be continued without a finding. However, our attorneys frequently obtain an even better outcome, a reduced charge such as Reckless Operation that is not a crime like DWI, and is not an alcohol-related conviction.

Possession of Drugs with Intent to Sell / Manufacturing Marijuana — Convictions Reversed

In State v. Stephen Socci, No. 2013-182, a decision released on July 8, 2014, the Court held that police officers and state troopers with the Rockingham County Drug Task Force, Kingston Police Department, and Rockingham County Sheriff Department violated Mr. Socci’s Fourth Amendment right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures. The officers had marched onto his property without a search warrant, and searched around his garage, finding evidence that he was growing marijuana in the garage. The trial court held that the police did not violate Mr. Socci’s constitutional rights, and upheld the search, causing Mr. Socci to be convicted of two felonies. The Court reversed both felony convictions and remanded for further hearing. Right Vindicated: This case is a huge vindication for the fundamental right of people to be left alone, free of intrusion by the government, on their own property.
