Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Deliver Defense Attorney in Sugar Land, Texas
If you are involved in the manufacture or trafficking of drugs or are caught with a substantial amount of a controlled substance, you are facing enhanced penalties. In some of these big cases, such as when the charge is Manufacture or Delivery of Substance in Penalty Group 1, >=400 grams, probation is not even an option, unless the DA can be pushed into reducing the charges. When facing drug manufacturing or other serious drug charges, contact an experienced criminal defense attorney at the Law Offices of John L. Venza Jr.
Having served as a prosecutor for the State of Texas, who handled many drug cases, I understand how the State approaches manufacturing and delivery of a controlled substance cases. Whether you have been accused of possessing a kilo of cocaine, numerous vials of anabolic steroids, or any other serious drug crime, my goal will be the same: to help you understand your rights and options, and to aggressively defend those rights while seeking the minimum punishment possible or a dismissal of the entire case. Unlike many attorneys who claim some general knowledge of the law of search and seizure, I have actually gone to battle in court on issues of unconstitutionally seized evidence and successfully had the drugs suppressed and the case completely thrown out by the Judge. When you have a serious charge such as possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver staring you in the face, you need a criminal defense lawyer with a proven track record of actually using the law to get evidence thrown out; I have that track record.
Some of the drugs often involved in a manufacturing or intent to deliver a controlled substance case are:
- Methamphetamine (manufactured in meth lab)
- Cocaine
- Marijuana
- Prescription drugs (Vicodin, Oxycontin, Xanax)
- Steroids
In the past, I have been able to persuade prosecutors to reduce or waive enhancements to these types of drug charges, which allowed my clients to get probation, when probation would not have been otherwise available to them. Since manufacturing and delivery of controlled substances cases frequently carry extremely harsh ranges of punishment, such as 15 years to life in prison, I strive to help my clients (when necessary and in their best interests) plead to lesser crimes in order for the sentences to be more lenient.
In Texas, drug cases are taken very seriously. You need the help of a criminal defense lawyer that has training and background in handling these types of cases in order to have any shot at dealing with prosecutors. They have the same training. I am committed to aggressive negotiation with the DA every step of the way in my attempts to prevent you from receiving a criminal conviction.
If you have been charged with drug manufacturing or possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, or with delivery of a controlled substance and wish to schedule a free consultation at my office conveniently located off of Highway 59, please contact me. Since an arrest may occur at any time of day, I make myself available on evenings and weekends for clients.
