Federal Drug Defense

Conviction of a federal drug offense can result in serious punishment. Federal courts have fairly rigid sentencing guidelines. Where you fall in the sentencing requirements depends on your criminal history, the drug your are charged with, the volume of the drug, your role in the case, and whether it involved a conspiracy.

As a seasoned drug attorney, I can challenge any of these aspects of the government's case. I have handled countless drug cases, both in private practice and as a Harris County Assistant District Attorney and a Special Assistant to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Major Crimes Section.

I defend clients against federal charges involving all types and amounts drugs, particularly marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, crack cocaine and club drugs such as Xanax and Ecstasy. I also handle charges involving prescription drugs, including fraud, theft and manufacturing.

If I may offer two pieces of advice:

• No matter what federal investigators say, never voluntarily agree to a search of your vehicle or residence. Make investigators obtain a search warrant by demonstrating to a judge that they have enough evidence for probable cause.
• You have a constitutional right to remain silent; this silence can be verbal AND written. Do not make any verbal or written statements to federal investigators without an attorney.

Even if you allow a search, and make a statement, I can still help.

Whether you're under investigation for or have been charged in federal court with transporting, selling or manufacturing narcotics, don't hesitate to seek my assistance.
