Accused Of Drug Possession?

In Texas, drug possession is still a serious charge. Marijuana possession is still a crime. If you have been accused of possessing drugs, you run the risk of serious penalties if you are convicted. Thankfully, you can fight a conviction and protect your future with the help of a dedicated attorney at The Law Office of Kelly F. Pittl.

Defense Strategies In Drug Possession Cases

In order to obtain a conviction, the prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were in possession of drugs. Our strategy will typically revolve around introducing reasonable doubt. That means reviewing the case to determine where the drugs were found. Were you truly in possession of them or were they somewhere nearby? Were they in your car? Your home? Could they have belonged to someone else?

We will investigate to determine that the drug arrest was handled properly. If we determine that the arrest was mishandled, there was an illegal search and seizure, or that your rights were violated in any way, we may ask that evidence be thrown out. We may request that the entire case be dismissed if it is built solely on evidence that was obtained incorrectly.

We use these strategies to defend people in San Antonio and the surrounding parts of the state against drug charges of possession of:

  • Marijuana
  • Cocaine
  • Heroin
  • Meth

We also defend against charges of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Alternative Sentencing

Bexar County and other counties in Texas have options that take into account the fact that many of the people charged with drug crimes are not criminals, but rather people fighting a serious disease: drug addiction. They have various alternative sentencing options that involve treatment, rehabilitation and counseling, rather than incarceration. We are well-versed in the options available and will pursue alternative sentencing if appropriate in your case.
