What is the charge for possession of 10 Alprazolam (Xanax) pills in New Hampshire? Will I need a criminal defense attorney?: They were 2mg pills. They were mailed to me anonymously and the DEA brought the package to my door, not knowing what they were, but saying that a drug canine sniffed them out. I told them they could open it and after opening 4 packages (think Russian nesting dolls), the pills were found. I never touched the package although it did have my name and address on the front. The package never made it to my door as it was intercepted by the DEA.

Ricardo’s answer: NH RSA 651:67 permits prosecution of nonpayment of restitution. A lawyer is strongly recommended when a person appears before a court on a charge of contempt. It may be possible, moreover, to revisit the amount of restitution pursuant to RSA 651:66. An attorney should be retained to consider this option, but one should know that court's usually listen to arguments to discharge restitution only when a defendant has been making regular or substantial payments.
