Sunday Speaker Topic:
Jamal Allen: Jamal Allen - Make Sure You Choose the Best Joint for Your Case
Description:
The law regarding marijuana is rapidly changing. In less than a decade throughout
Arizona we have witnessed marijuana go from being illegal, to being allowed for
medicinal use, and now being permissible for recreational use. However, there are
stipulations that come with this new legislation.
Marijuana is illegal, and states vastly disagree on how we should continue to
legislate. Some progress has been made in the House toward legalization, but so far it
has stalled in the Senate. Simple possession and use charges have had significant
impacts on people’s lives, even after their release, individuals can struggle to find a job,
buy a home, or rent an apartment because of their conviction.
In “Make Sure You Choose the Best Joint for Your Case,” Jamal Allen will
discuss the importance of knowing your rights, learning the law as new legislation
passes, and choosing an attorney who will fight for you.
Bio:
Graduating from Arizona State University, College of Law in 1993, Mr. Allen wanted to
give the legal field something it often lacks: empathy, compassion, and a genuine
human connection. He decided to open the Allen Law Firm – a personal injury and
criminal defense law firm, which provides real solutions to real people facing real
problems in 1998. His background in civil litigation and prosecution makes him uniquely
situated to handle these two areas of law and he has passion for getting people the
outcomes they deserve.
