Board-Certified Criminal Defense Trial Lawyer For Strategic Defense Against Felony Drug Charges
The consequences of a drug charge can be severe, including prison time, large fines and a felony record. I am here to guide you through this challenging time by offering a robust defense against drug-related charges.
The types of drug charges that I handle as a trial lawyer include:
- Drug trafficking: Moving controlled substances across state or national borders. It often results in federal charges and extremely harsh mandatory minimum prison sentences.
- Drug manufacturing: Producing or compounding a controlled substance. This includes growing cannabis or operating an illegal methamphetamine lab. Texas law punishes manufacturing based on the weight or volume of the resulting drug.
- Distribution and intent to distribute: Delivering or intending to deliver or sell illegal drugs. Proof of intent can rest on the large quantity of a substance or the presence of packaging materials and scales.
- Drug conspiracy: When two or more people agree to violate drug laws, even if they never complete the primary crime. The prosecution must show an agreement and an overt action taken to further that agreement.
Whether you’re up against charges for small-scale possession or large-scale distribution, you need a lawyer who will fight for your rights every step of the way. As a board-certified criminal defense lawyer with decades of experience, I have gotten serious criminal charges reduced or dismissed in hundreds of criminal trials. I excel in last-minute criminal trial representation. If you need a criminal defense trial lawyer to jump into your case immediately and fight for your rights and freedom at trial, don’t wait.
