Austin Drug Crime Attorney

A Drug Crime lawyer in Austin defending clients accused of narcotics offenses

Mandatory minimum sentences are increasing for people who commit drug crimes. As soon as the police arrest you for a drug-related offense, ask for a lawyer—and refrain from answering questions so you do not incriminate yourself further. Bill White is an experienced Austin criminal defense lawyer who can advise you on how to handle your drug case as soon as you are arrested.

Mr. White represents clients charged with these and other drug charges in state and federal courts:

Cultivation – Growing illegal drugs such as marijuana is a criminal offense, and punishments vary based on the number of plants involved. If the courts find you guilty of cultivating even a single plant, you face jail time, fines, and other penalties.
Distribution – Just transferring possession of drugs, including prescriptions, can result in a distribution arrest. Protect yourself by hiring a drug crime attorney immediately.
Manufacturing – People accused of producing illegal narcotics need an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Bill White examines the facts and the evidence in manufacturing cases to defend clients against these serious charges.
Possession – Having narcotics on your person generally results in a possessions charge. Moreover, if a passenger in your vehicle has something illegal, you also may be arrested for possession.
Possession for sale – Police officers may assume that a person intends to sell drugs when he or she has a large quantity of narcotics. A possession for sale conviction frequently carries mandatory jail sentences.
Prescription fraud – Courts are increasing their prosecution of prescription drug offenses. If you have a prescription that does not belong to you or forge the signature of a medical professional, you could face serious state and federal charges.
Trafficking – Drug trafficking charges often occur in conjunction with other offenses. If the police accuse you of transporting narcotics within Texas or across state lines, you face serious jail time.
Conspiracy – Just agreeing to help someone commit a drug crime can get you into trouble with the law. Make sure that you protect your rights by hiring a certified criminal law specialist.
