Juvenile In Possession Of Prescription Drugs - Even though prescription drugs are legal, there are several ways your young person can get themselves in trouble with them.

If they were caught in possession of prescription drugs that weren't their own – maybe it was yours, maybe it belonged to a friend – they could face criminal charges for Drug Possession.

Working For The Best Possible Outcome In Juvenile Drug Cases - I truly enjoy fighting for my clients in court, but my goal is always to see that you get the best outcome possible. If a young person was caught with drugs and it was just experimentation, then a diversion program, probation or community service could turn a life around.

If the young person has an addiction problem, then getting him or her into a drug treatment program is going to be important. Anyone on probation for a drug crime is going to have to pass random drug tests and attend counseling. It's almost impossible for a person with an active addiction to successfully complete probation.

The Difference Between Expungement And Orders Of Nondisclosure - An expungement (or “expunction”) completely erases an offense from your criminal record. No one, not even a police officer, will be able to see that you were ever charged. The incident will never appear on any background check. It will be as if the whole event never happened.

Experienced Representation For Every Kind Of Violent Crime – Charges for violent crimes can be difficult to understand — you can be charged with assault even though you never actually harmed another person. That's why you need someone who can explain the charges against you and go through the events leading to those charges step-by-step to spot every weakness in the prosecution's case.

What Paperwork Or Documentation Should I Bring To My First Meeting With A Defense Lawyer?

It would be incredibly helpful to bring a valid form of government ID with you. This will allow the attorney to pull your criminal history (if you have one) and better strategize on how to help you.

Please be aware that having a criminal history is nothing to be ashamed of. I’m not here to judge you, and your past won’t cause me to fight for you any less hard.

Is It Legal For Police Officers To Lie To Me During An Interrogation In Texas?

Yes, it is perfectly legal for the police to lie to you during an interrogation. This is a frequently used tactic to get information or extract a verbal confession, and it is lawful for police to do this in Texas.

Is There A Difference Between DUI and DWI Charges In Texas?

Yes. DUI is generally used if you are a minor and have any detectable quantity of drugs or alcohol in your system, but are not drunk. If you have any alcohol in your system and are under 21, for example, you will still be arrested. You will not be jailed, but will be arrested at the scene and held until another person (such as a parent) can pick you up.

Under What Circumstances Can Texas Police Legally Search My Car?

All the police need to search your vehicle is a “probable cause” that a crime has taken place, is taking place, or is about to take place. What does that look like in real life?

If you forget to use your blinker to change lanes, that could warrant a stop. Alternatively, if the cop following you is convinced you’ve got dope in your car, they’ll follow you until you make a simple mistake, like forgetting to use your blinker. Is that legal? Absolutely, and this is known as a “pretextual stop”. Learn more here: https://www.matthewmaddox.com/can-the-police-search-my-car-without-a-warrant-in-texas/

The Stakes Are High After A S*x Crime Arrest - Merely being charged with a sexually based offense can have life-altering consequences. Many charges are based entirely on witness statements alone, which means innocent people get wrongfully charged all the time. False allegations are not uncommon.

What Are The Repercussions Of A Misdemeanor Conviction?

A misdemeanor on your record can impact the following areas for years to come:
• Job prospects: Many employers will not hire candidates with a misdemeanor on their record after conducting a criminal background check.
• Housing: Renting or leasing a place to live can be difficult to impossible as many landlords check criminal backgrounds before approving your lease.
• Financial aid for college: A drug-related crime automatically makes you ineligible to receive any federal financial aid for college for a set number of years. This could cause you to not graduate on time, or force you to drop out altogether and not complete your education.
