Drug Possession

Sugar Land, Texas, Drug Possession Lawyer

Arrest for drug possession often occurs in conjunction with car stops or domestic violence calls. In each instance, legal questions arise in regard to whether officers had probable cause to search a car, apartment or house and whether evidence was handled properly. As a former judge and county attorney, I understand how prosecutors and police think, the tactics used to blur Constitutional issues, how witnesses can be intimidated and when informant testimony is questionable at best. As your attorney, I critically review police statements, dashboard video of car stops, tapes of interrogations and other evidence in exposing mistakes and questionable tactics on the part of prosecutors and police officers.

Don't assume that just because drugs were found on your property you have to plead "guilty" to drug possession charges. To schedule a free consultation and protect your rights, contact drug possession defense attorney David Hunter today.

Drug Possession Charges

As a criminal defense attorney, I represent clients in cases involving the following kinds of drug possession charges:

• Marijuana
• Heroin
• Cocaine
• Methamphetamine
• Ecstasy
• Illegal obtained prescription drugs

Complications Associated with Drug Possession Charges

If prosecutors believe any assets or property you have may have been acquired through proceeds from illegal activity, they may initiate a criminal forfeiture to seize the property in question. Doing so can result in frozen bank accounts, seized cars, homes and other property, making it difficult to finance a defense for drug delivery or drug possession charges.

As your attorney, I am prepared to challenge criminal forfeitures. Working with forensic accountants and CPAs, I put the government on the defensive, alleging harassment of my client when appropriate.

When Working With Prosecutors Makes the Most Sense

If there is no question of your guilt, working with prosecutors to reduce the sentence or charge against you may mean the difference between a lengthy prison sentence and a chance to start over. Realizing everyone makes mistakes, the court may be inclined to place you on probation if your criminal record is relatively clean and you take the initiative to seek counseling for your drug problem. While each case is different and I cannot guarantee a specific result, my experience as a former judge places me in a unique position to understand what the court is looking for when considering a plea bargain.
