OUR STRATEGY IN FIGHTING YOUR DRUG CHARGE:

  1. Did the police have reasonable suspicion or probable cause to stop you?
  2. Did the police have probable cause to search and seize your property?
  3. If there was a search warrant, did law enforcement comply with Chapter 18 of the Code of Criminal Procedure?
  4. Can the police “affirmatively link” the drug/dope to you? For example, just being in a car where drugs are found is not necessarily enough of a link.
  5. Was the drugs/dope someone else’s?
  6. Was a CI (confidential informant) involved?
  7. Was there an issue with the drug test?
