A 7411 drug deferral allows a person to plead “guilty” to a charge, then have the plea dismissed after a probationary period.
This is handy because a drug charge can have a big affect on your personal life. Posseession of a controlled substance like marijuana, meth, or cocaine can carry a prison sentence of up to 40 years. These convictions can carry serious consequences such as fines, jail time, and loss of certain rights.
According to Michigan Law, a 7411 Drug Deferral is:
333.7411 Possession or use of controlled substance or imitation controlled substance; probation; terms and conditions; violation; discharge and dismissal; deferral of proceedings; nonpublic record of arrest, court proceedings, and disposition; nonpublic record open to certain individuals and entities; purposes; course of instruction or rehabilitation program; conviction of second violation; screening and assessment; costs.

"At our time of need, Criminal Defense Attorney Shawn Haff came through for us! I dealt with two attorneys there and have nothing but good things to say about them! My calls were all returned, my questions answered in great detail, and it is clear they have the respect of the local prosecutors' and judges in West Michigan. My loved one was facing a felony charge and it was dropped! No probation, no jail, no diversion program, no prison! Needless to say, we will use them again if we ever need their service, though hopefully we never need to! They weren't cheap, but their prices were not outrageous compared to other law firms."
