Drug Possession

Trust Your Case To Our Austin Drug and Controlled Substance Attorneys

​Depending on a variety of factors, such as the drug type or amount found in your possession, you may be facing a misdemeanor or felony charge, not to mention thousands of dollars in fines and time behind bars. If a large quantity of drugs was found on your person or property, prosecutors may argue that your intent was to sell or distribute the drug, which could lead to even harsher consequences.

If you have been charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance (POCS) or Possession of Marijuana (POM), you need to speak with our drug possession attorney as soon as possible.

Will I go to Jail for Drug Possession?

There are a number of different factors that will impact the penalties you face if convicted of drug possession. For example, if you were found with heroin, you will likely face much harsher consequences than if you were found in possession of illegal prescription drugs. Why? Because heroin is considered a much more lethal and addictive substance than most prescription drugs.

In Addition to the Type of Drug, the Following Factors May Impact Your Case:

  • How much of the controlled substance you were found with.
  • The location you were arrested at (school, playground, home, etc.).
  • Your past record of criminal offenses, including drug offenses.
  • Whether or not you crossed state lines with the substance.
  • If you were found with paraphernalia like baggies and scales that indicate sales.
