If you’ve been charged with any drug offense, you should understand that your situation isn’t hopeless. The right legal assistance can help you mitigate your charges and reduce the severity of the potential consequences.

The potential penalties for drug offenses will depend on the type of drug, the quantity, and the specific crime you are charged with. Drugs classified as controlled substances are generally divided into five schedules under federal and Texas law. Drugs considered to be the most dangerous fall within schedule I. These are drugs like heroin, ecstasy, and marijuana with a high abuse risk that—according the government—have no safe, accepted medical use in the United States. Illegally possessing, manufacturing, or selling these drugs may result in substantial penalties. Even simple drug possession charges may result in terms of imprisonment, making it important for you to get help from a Texas drug possession lawyer.
At GreenClark, we can advise you about the charges that you are facing and work to build the strongest possible defense to the charges.
