Welcome to Mason County Public Defender
On February 25, 2021, the Washington State Supreme Court declared the current Possession of a Controlled Substance law unconstitutional.
If you have been convicted of the crime of Possession of a Controlled Substance, you may be entitled to have this removed from your record. That removal could include:
- An adjustment to a sentence for another crime being currently served based on a revised offender score
- A refund of fines, fees, and court costs paid for the conviction
- The removal of a felony from your criminal history
- A challenge to any criminal charge predicated upon the initial conviction, such as Unlawful Possession of a Firearm.
If you believe you are entitled to relief under the Blake decision, and if you are indigent and unable to afford your own counsel, please download and fill out the following form and bring it to the public defender's office, or e-mail to Maggie Huston at mhuston@masoncountywa.gov
