Houston Drug Distribution Attorney

Drug Distribution and Intent to Distribute

Drug distribution is frequently combined with a conspiracy charge as prosecutors prefer to make the charges as severe as possible. If you think that you are suspected of a drug crime or that you are the subject of an investigation, it is vital that you seek the counsel of a trusted Houston criminal defense attorney right away. If investigators come to your home or you are pulled over by law enforcement, remember to exercise your right to remain silent and say nothing until you can speak with your attorney. Your future may very well depend on my early involvement in your case.

Drug Distribution Lawyer in Houston, Texas

A charge of possession with intent to distribute can be based on the amount of drugs allegedly in your possession. The prosecution doesn't need any evidence that you actually distributed a drug, proof you simply agreed to distribute is sufficent to convict. Similarly, a charge of conspiracy to distribute may be filed (even though you have no drugs in your possession) simply based on evidence of a plan to do so in the future.

An arrest on one of these charges is an intimidating experience. Under the Texas Controlled Substances Act a conviction of any of these crimes carry heavy penalties -- up to life in prison, loss of all personal assets and large fines. For this reason, hiring a skilled drug distribution lawyer at my firm is crucial. This is not the type of case that you want to leave up to the whims of chance. To give yourself the best possible chance of success, you need to combat the charges, and fight them aggressively.

Don't let anyone convince you to give up and plead guilty. It may appear that the government has a strong case against you, but there may be flaws or technical problems with their evidence. I may be able to prove that the police of federal agents violated your rights during the investigation or arrest. If so, this could mean that the evidence against you was obtained illegally. The charges would then have to be dismissed.
