A Two Part Approach to Defending Meth Charges in North Texas
Meth runs rampant across North Texas. It destroys lives. We are experienced criminal defense attorneys who have defended drug charges since 1974, and many of our cases have involved the powerful grip of Methamphetamines.
Many of our clients who have been arrested on drug charges involving methamphetamines are truly victims of this powerful and highly addictive drug. We know how meth can take control of a person's life and create a downward spiral of despair. However, we know how to help our clients resolve their legal problems and how to steer them to the right rehabilitation center.
When approaching the defense of a person facing a methamphetamines charge — possession, manufacturing, delivery or distribution — our goal is twofold: First address the legal problem. Second, make sure our client gets the help they need to recover from addiction. Our experience with meth cases has enabled us to become familiar with available resources before, during, and after the resolution of the criminal investigation that we can recommend to our clients.
Our #1 Job: Fighting the Criminal Case
You Have Fourth Amendment Constitutional Rights!
If you have been arrested for possession or delivery of meth, it is a terrible idea to assume that you will be convicted. When you have an encounter with a police officer, you have many Fourth Amendment protections against warrantless searches and seizures. First of all, the police had to have a reason to come into contact with you. Secondly, they had to be looking in an appropriate place where they find something they think is drugs.
The police often go beyond the legal boundaries of where they can search for drugs or contraband. Whether on your person, in your car, or in your house—you have privacy rights that the police cannot violate. If they do, then the evidence can be thrown out and your case dismissed.
You Are Presumed to Be Innocent in the Eyes of the Law
In order to arrest you, the police only needed "probable cause." Understand that "probable cause" is only a tiny fraction of the evidence the government needs to obtain a conviction. The District Attorney must prove the allegations "beyond a reasonable doubt," which is the highest evidentiary standard in the law. Just because you have been arrested does not mean that you are guilty under the law. Remember that you are presumed to be innocent under the law.
