Defending Drug Cases
|
Facts - |
The offense levels of drug cases are extremely varied.
Possession of Marijuana alone can range from a class B misdemeanor that carries a range of punishment of up to 180 days in the county jail and/or a fine of up to $2,000.00 up to a first degree felony that carries the possibility of time in the penitentiary.
Many of these cases can carry license suspensions as well. If your license is suspended after a conviction, my office can assist you in obtaining an Occupational Driver's License (ODL). Is probation a possibility? - Usually, it is a possibility...but be warned. Probation (now called "community supervision") can be time consuming and expensive.

The key to a good defense –

-
Call MENES LAW FIRM at (214)631-2751 to schedule a consultation.
-
You should also prepare a detailed written statement of what happened (detail all events leading up to your arrest) as soon as possible. Determine whether you have any witnesses that could help you should you decide to go to trial. Get their contact information and have them draft a brief statement.
-
These cases can have many suppression issues, as well as, trial issues. We will discuss all these in order to determine whether it is best to plead or try your case.

** If you are not a citizen of the United States, please be sure to let our office know this so we may plan your criminal defense in such a way that will not impact your immigration status.**

|
Our philosophy on drug cases is this - if your plea offer involves a "straight probation offer” that means an automatic conviction and can mean a suspension of your driver's license as well. If this is your situation, you may have nothing to lose by trying your case.
