Hire an Experienced Houston Lawyer After a Drug Arrest
Federal drug investigations can progress for months as the DEA, FBI, or other law enforcement agencies collect damaging evidence to build their case. Some people are first alerted of a potential drug investigation when they are questioned about drug activity or a controlled substance conspiracy involving other alleged participants. For other defendants, they first become aware of the case in a drug bust or drug arrest.
Whether you have been charged or are only suspicious of a federal drug investigation being conducted against you, you will benefit significantly by having an experienced drug crimes defense attorney by your side right away. Contact the Law Offices of Johnny P. Papantonakis for aggressive and diligent legal representation in the Houston area. Located in Harris County, representation is available in state or federal courts throughout Texas.
Serious Defense in Serious Drug Cases
The stakes are high in federal drug investigations. If a federal indictment is filed and a conviction is received, you could face mandatory minimum sentencing that will have a serious impact on you, your loved ones, and your entire future. The Law Offices of Johnny P. Papantonakis understand how frightening a drug arrest can be when there is so much at stake.
Successfully defending clients in serious drug cases since 2001, I provide effective criminal defense representation for clients facing state and federal drug charges in Texas.
- Drug manufacturing or cultivation: A drug manufacturing conviction can carry a minimum prison sentence of five to fifteen years. I have experience handling the most serious drug manufacturing and cultivation charges, such as marijuana cultivation, operating a marijuana grow house, operating a meth lab (methamphetamines), manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance, or possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture.
- Drug trafficking or distribution: Drug trafficking is one of the most serious drug offenses. If filed in federal court, a drug trafficking conviction can result in a minimum five or ten year prison sentence, depending on the quantity of controlled substances involved. Drug trafficking charges can include possession with intent to distribute, sale or delivery of controlled substances, interstate drug trafficking, conspiracy to traffic or import controlled substances (drug smuggling).
If you have been arrested for drug manufacturing, distribution, or sale, an experienced criminal defense attorney is critical to the success of your case. Thorough investigation and preparation of your case could result in the reduction of charges and potential consequences.
