Drug Charges

Travis County Drug Charges Defense

Tell us about your case.

Drug cases are not just about the drugs. In fact, they are much more complicated than many people realize. What is important to know is that each and every drug charge involves a unique set of circumstances that must be looked at very closely by the attorney handling the case. If they can effectively challenge the case on issues of probable cause, search and seizure, and actual possession—your problems may be solved.

We provide this kind of diligence and dedication every day. Contact us and talk to a lawyer about your case.

At Bristol Myers & Associates, P.C., we defend people facing drug charges of ALL types here in the Austin area and throughout the state of Texas. We handle cases at both the state and federal levels including in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and in the U.S. Supreme Court. Specific cases include charges of:

• Possession (marijuana, meth, cocaine, heroin, pharmaceuticals, etc.)
• Delivery or distribution of drugs
• Drug trafficking
• Manufacture of methamphetamines, ecstasy, et al.
• Drug-related conspiracy

It is no secret that drug laws have grown increasingly harsh over the last few decades. In addition to long, mandatory minimum sentences for many charges, even a relatively "small offense" can send you to prison if it occurs in the vicinity of a school. Likewise if a college student or young person is convicted on a simple possession charge they could lose their government eligibility to receive student loans.

Again however, we would like to emphasize that each case is different. It is important for us to thoroughly review the case as soon as possible after arrest so that the intricate details can be preserved before they are forgotten. The same is true for delivery and conspiracy cases. They are too complex to outline a basic strategy on this website. One thing you SHOULD NOT DO is discuss anything with any law enforcement officers, particularly if drug task force or federal agents say they want to speak with you. They do not always have the authority they claim to make a case "go away," and they are generally looking to scare you into cooperating with their investigation.
