Drug Possession - Cocaine and Marijuana
The potential penalties for drug possession depend on the type and amount of the drug in your possession and the number of prior convictions for drug-related charges. The actual consequences depend on the facts of your case-and the skill and experience of your lawyer.
If you have been arrested and charged with possession of marijuana or cocaine, please contact me, Houston criminal defense attorney Johnny P. Papantonakis. I have the legal knowledge, skill and experience to defend you against state and federal drug possession charges.
Since 2001, I have successfully defended hundreds of clients charged with drug possession. Whether you are a juvenile arrested for possession of a small amount of marijuana or an adult with many previous drug-related offenses, you can depend on me for aggressive and effective defense of your rights.
Protecting Your Current and Long-term Interests
I understand that a conviction for drug possession can have devastating consequences, including fines and jail or even prison sentences. A conviction on your record also can make it harder for you to get a job, a loan or a higher education.
Every conviction will increase the penalties for any future conviction. That is why I fight so hard to minimize the negative consequences of any marijuana or cocaine possession charge.
In all drug possession cases, I will question whether the evidence against you was obtained legally. You have a right to be free of illegal search and seizure. If your rights were violated, the evidence obtained in an illegal search may be dismissed.
If a police officer pulled your car over, I will question whether there was reasonable suspicion for making the stop. If authorities obtained a warrant to search your property, I will make certain the warrant was executed correctly. In short, I will do everything within the law and within my power as an attorney to achieve the most positive resolution possible to your drug possession case.
Don't delay. Please contact me today for a free consultation and case evaluation.
