What do I stand to lose with a conviction?

Since Texas does not recognize medical marijuana, any amount of the substance is criminalized.

We Provide Stellar Defenses

While a marijuana charge may seem straightforward, there are several means of challenging the prosecution when arrested for possession or trafficking or marijuana. For simple possession charges, it must be proven that you knew about the drug's existence and you had control over it, meaning the marijuana was easily accessible to you. If our Dallas drug crime attorney can show that you did not know of the drugs existence or whereabouts, it may be very difficult to convict you of possession.

We put our reputation on the line with each case we handle because we know what is at stake. Trust our criminal defense firm, Mathur Law Offices, P.C., to work hard against your charges and towards restoring your freedom.
