San Antonio Drug Crime Attorney

Defending All Types of State & Federal Drug Charges

Although attitudes toward drug use have softened in some parts of the country, Texas still maintains a strong stance when it comes to enforcing state and federal drug laws. This is especially true when it comes to the possession of large quantities of drugs, as well as the transportation and sale of marijuana, narcotics, opioids, and other dangerous and controlled substances.

It is important that you contact a skilled criminal defense lawyer right away if you have been accused of any type of drug crime in Texas. Even a seemingly minor possessions charge could land you in jail and result in steep fines, probation, and mandatory community service.

Building a Personalized Defense Strategy

If you have been arrested on a drug offense, much of your defense strategy will be determined by what kind of drug is involved, how much is involved, and what the circumstances of the case are. In other words, getting caught smoking a joint is not going to be treated the same way as getting popped transporting several pounds of methamphetamines.

In some instances, with the help of a skilled attorney such as Derek W. Emmons, you may be able to work with the court system to be placed into some kind of a drug diversion program for minor offenses. Upon successful completion of the program, all charges and records of those charges may be dismissed, leaving you with a clean record so that you do not continue to pay the price for many years to come.

For the vast majority of drug charges, however, your attorney will probably be able to strike a plea bargain with the courts. This may allow you to pay a penalty for a lesser charge (such as having a felony reduced to a misdemeanor), serve less time, or pay less of a fine than you would if you chose to go to trial and lost. Courts are often amenable to plea bargains because it frees up their resources so they can focus on larger crimes that have more serious and sweeping consequences.
