Possession of Controlled Substances

Georgetown Drug Possession Attorney

If you are charged with possession of a controlled substance in Texas, you face a very serious charge carrying punishments from probation to state prison terms. How you are charged and what the penalties may be will depend on the quantity of drugs involved, the nature of those drugs, and other specific facts of the case. Controlled substances include drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, methamphetamines, and more. Because of the serious nature of such charges, if you have been arrested anywhere in Williamson County, you should consult with me as a Georgetown drug possession lawyer as soon as possible.

One of the penalties of being convicted of drug possession is a 180 day suspension of your driver's license. Not being allowed to drive can seriously impact your life, most especially your job. It is crucial, therefore, to retain my services as a criminal defense attorney to help you avoid this possibility as well as the risk of jail time and other adverse consequences. Furthermore, if you are convicted of possession of a controlled substance, you will have a permanent criminal record which can negatively affect your future in regards to employment, career opportunities, professional licenses, and more.

Drug Possession Cases and Consequences

Potential defenses exist for anyone charged with drug possession, which is why you should have an attorney by your side before you make any statements about your situation to police officers, detectives, prosecutors, or others. You also may be eligible for a special program for first-time offenders in which you may avoid prosecution if you remain law-abiding and complete the terms of the program successfully. Under this program, the charges against you will be dismissed and you will be eligible to have your record expunged.

Because of the complexities of drug possession charges, I urge you to contact me as a Georgetown drug possession attorney to discuss your case and your options immediately.
