There is No Such Thing as a Small Drug Possession Charge
San Antonio, Texas, Drug Charge Defense Lawyer
If you or someone in your family is facing a drug charge, make no mistake: there is no such thing as a small drug offense in Texas. Prosecutors often look at the amount of marijuana or cocaine you were caught with, and have the authority to increase a misdemeanor possession charge to a felony for intent to distribute. Your lawyer will need experience working with police and prosecutors to make sure that you won't be facing a felony conviction that can have a serious impact under the Texas three strikes law.
Simple possession or intent to distribute?
In Texas, any drug possession of four ounces or more can be charged as intent to distribute. Your attorney will need to understand what strategies are most likely to help you avoid a felony charge and conviction under the three strikes law. Attorney Ralph E. Williamson has the experience you can rely on.
