The Umansky Law Firm

A Florida law enforcement officer who was recently on routine patrol noticed a car parked in a county park. The law enforcement officer approached the vehicle to investigate further. A juvenile then exited the vehicle and the officer alleges that he smelled a strong odor of cannabis on the person. The law enforcement officer called for backup to search the vehicle.

During the search, the officers found a large bag with several smaller baggies of cannabis, rolling papers, and roaches. The law enforcement officer conducted a presumptive test on the cannabis, which tested positive. The alleged cannabis weighed over 20 grams. Because of this, the officer placed the juvenile under arrest and charged him with felony possession of cannabis over 20 grams.

The juvenile then became a client of the Umansky Law Firm. Because of this, attorney Zahra Umansky was able to get the juvenile client into a diversion teen court program. The client successfully completed the diversion program and the felony criminal charge was dropped.

Teenagers often make errors in judgment without considering the consequences. It's part of being a teen. However, when these mistakes cause someone to wind up on the wrong side of the law, they need someone who will still fight for their right. We believe that those charged with something that can limit their future should be given another chance.
