As a former federal prosecutor assigned to the Organized Crime Drug Task Force, handled federal drug cases involving the distribution and importation of cocaine, marijuana, heroin, methamphetamine and Ecstasy (MDMA). These cases involved confidential informants, Title III wire intercepts (telephone taps), cell site tracking devices and surveillance. He understands the procedures that law enforcement must follow and can readily expose any incidents of police impropriety, including illegal searches and seizures.
Criminal Forfeiture
A major drug case in federal court will almost automatically involve the seizure/forfeiture of the defendant's real or personal property, including homes, cars, boats or any other assets purchased with allegedly illicit funds. Our firm has significant experience handling forfeiture allegations.
State Drug Cases
State drug cases typically involve charges of possession or delivery of a controlled substance. The amount of drug in question determines the degree of felony charged. A conviction on a state drug offense can result in a lengthy prison sentence.
Conspiracy
Drug conspiracy charges involve actively planning with others to possess or deliver a controlled substance, regardless of actual possession or delivery. Please note conspiracy charges can be pursued even if your action only furthers someone else's agreement to possess or distribute drugs. Our firm has handled drug conspiracies involving massive quantities of drugs and multiple defendants.
Federal drug cases often hinge on the testimony of cooperating defendants. We are experienced in revealing the false statements and motivations of a cooperating defendant or informant.
We not only represent clients in Texas, but all over the country, including Oklahoma, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and New York.
The United States Department of Justice has recognized Houston, Texas, as a gateway for narcotics and controlled substances entering the United States from Mexico and South America.
