EXPERIENCED LEGAL REPRESENTATION

Austin Marijuana Possession/Texas Drug Charges Lawyers

While growing or possessing marijuana may seem like a minor crime, laws related to Texas drug charges are extremely strict on those types of charges and the consequences of a conviction are serious. You need the type of representation provided by the attorneys at Patricia L. Brown & Associates, P.C. in Round Rock, Texas.

Consequences of a Marijuana Possession Conviction

Longer jail sentences and probations and even the possibility of your driver's license being revoked are consequences of a marijuana possession conviction. The life-changing and job-threatening implications require that you get experienced and aggressive counsel. A one-time charge could put you in prison and cause you to lose your job. Attempting to resolve your marijuana charge without a qualified attorney leaves you open to any outcome of your case. The consequences are too severe to not seek representation.

Handling Your Marijuana Possession Case

At Patricia L. Brown & Associates, P.C., we will review all records related to your arrest. Police are often overzealous in their traffic stops or search and seizure procedures. Many times, our clients will claim that the marijuana belonged to someone else in the house and not them. They just had the misfortune of being there during the search and seizure. Other times, law enforcement missed an important step in the arrest process, thereby violating your rights. If those rights were violated, we will seek immediate suppression of any evidence and dismissal of your marijuana possession case. Your rights are at stake and they need to be protected.

Negotiating with the Prosecution

In negotiating a plea with the prosecution, we will attempt to present you in the best light. If you recognize a drug problem that resulted in the arrest for a marijuana possession conviction, entering a drug counseling program will help your case. Showing the District Attorney that you are serious in turning around your behavior could mean the difference between jail and a deferred adjudication of your marijuana possession case. The opportunity for deferred adjudication is beneficial to your immediate and long-term future in that if you keep your record clean, the charge can possibly be expunged.

Experienced and Aggressive Representation

With all those possibilities raising doubt, you need an experienced a marijuana possession attorney to communicate with the prosecution and point out any weaknesses in their case. We will strive for the best outcome for you, whether that is plea bargaining or outright dismissal of all charges. The ramifications of a conviction are too harsh to take the matter lightly and enter into it without legal representation.

We are not only aggressive in representing those arrested for a marijuana possession or other Texas drug charges, but we advocate for our clients with understanding, dedication, and compassion. A drug bust can be frightening and unsettling. An arrest changes your outlook regarding your future. Do not let the prosecution force you into a plea bargain and have you believe the matter can just go away. The consequences are severe and you need a qualified lawyer.
