McKinney Possession Defense Lawyer
How serious is a misdemeanor drug possession charge for just a small amount of marijuana? Under state law, you can face up to a year in jail and a heavy fine and loss of your driver's license. Perhaps most important, a misdemeanor conviction will appear on your criminal record permanently. If you are facing drug charges in McKinney, Texas, or another community throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, you are up against prosecutors who would like nothing more than to see you face maximum penalties.

Deferred Adjudication
The state of Texas offers an option for first-time offenders in which a conviction will be set aside, pending successful completion of a sanctioned drug rehabilitation or awareness program. Deferred adjudication is often considered a type of probation, without carrying the stigma of a conviction on your record. Upon successful completion of the probationary period, including the sanctioned program, your case will be dismissed and the courts will never enter a finding of guilt. In the event your first-offense drug charges will not allow the option of a dismissal or acquittal, we will work vigorously with the Collin County prosecutor to seek deferred adjudication and the narcotics program that is best for you.
