I was caught with 15 xans and spent the night in jail. Got released on Pre Trial. I have a legit klonopin prescription but not xanax. My questions are should I hire a lawyer (its my first offense, never been in trouble) or do you think if i complete the pre trial diversion program the judge will dismiss the charges? Also is getting a fake script that is dated before my arrest date worth a try? im thinking no because it will need a doctors signature...Any feedback appreciated
Submitting false evidence is a decidedly bad idea, unless you have a friend who is a doctor and is willing to have your back.
Think this through: would they really just look at the paper and say "rats, he's got us!"? Or would they subpoena the doctor and the pharmacy you made up/chose to check your story?
Always think three steps ahead.
Beyond that, I would hire a lawyer if a drug charge on your record would affect your life significantly. You need to weigh the benefits of hiring a lawyer with the cost of it, and that's not something any of us can do but you.
