Houston Drug Crime Defense Attorney

Drug Possession in Texas

When you have been charged with drug possession, you likely have a lot of questions. There are a lot of finite details when it comes to these charges and your Houston drug crime attorney can help answer any questions you have.

Depending on the drug and the quantity, you could be facing anywhere from a $500 fine for a misdemeanor to years in prison and a $10,000 fine for a felony. Anyone convicted of a drug crime may find difficulty seeking employment and housing. If you are hoping to go to school, your criminal record might not only hurt your chances of gaining admission, but also impede your ability to get government funding to pay for college. Anyone convicted of a drug crime will also be subject to an automatic 6 month long driver’s license suspension. The only way to beat the consequences for drug possession is to fight the charges from the start with the help of a skilled Houston criminal lawyer.

When you work with a Houston drug possession defense attorney from the Law Offices of James Alston, we will immediately go to work searching for inconsistencies and holes in the prosecution’s evidence. If any evidence against you was obtained illegally, we will fight its admission into the courtroom. If you have been singled out by an informant, we will question his motives and show he was only testifying to keep himself out of jail. Your crime defense in Texas will review police statements, witness testimony, police car video, interrogation tapes and any other evidence against you to exploit any mistakes made during the investigation and interrogation processes.

Even if there is no way to deny your guilt, your Houston criminal lawyer will still do everything in his power to help you. We will seek out a winning plea bargain that focuses on reform, rather than punishment.

Call our offices today to discuss your case in a confidential, non-judgmental setting.
