Drug Possession Defense Attorneys
Drug crimes, from "simple" possession to possession with intent to distribute or intent to sell, in Texas carry severe penalties upon conviction. At the Law Offices of Jason Trumpler, P.C. our lawyers have over 20 years of experience assisting drug crime defendants in defeating their charges. Mr. Trumpler has personally handled these cases on both sides of the law. As a former prosecutor, he has signed search warrants and prosecuted thousands of drug offenses. Moreover, as a defense lawyer he has successfully represented many individuals charged with drug crimes. When law enforcement is preparing to arrest or charge an individual with a drug crime, there are many procedural safeguards available to a defendant and his/her lawyer so that the civil liberties of each defendant can be protected. You may be able to defeat a drug charge if law enforcement acted in violation of these procedural safeguards, whether you are actually guilty or not. In other words, if the police unlawfully searched you or unlawfully seized the alleged contraband, the evidence may be excludable, and your case would then be dismissed.
We know how to effectively protect your rights, freedoms, and reduce the consequences of a drug charge. It is always our primary objective to get your case dismissed; if we fail in that regard, we have established a remarkable record of achieving probationary sentences, keeping our clients out of jail or the penitentiary.

The 4th Amendment protects you against unlawful search and seizure. Our attorneys will scrutinize the facts of your case. If we find there were violations of your Constitutional rights, we will work to get your charges dismissed.
If the arresting officers in your case violated your civil liberties, you may be able to exclude the evidence in your case, including any drugs or paraphernalia found in your possession. Often times these search and seizure procedural violations can result in the total dismissal of your charge. Our attorneys will meticulously investigate the facts of your case so that we can prepare the best possible defense on your behalf.
Prosecutors in Williamson County Caldwell County will generally seek jail time on ALL DRUG OFFENSES - even if it is your first. Prosecutors in Travis County, Hays strong>County, Burnet County, and Blanco strong>County can sometimes be more forgiving. But it remains important to protect your rights!
You need a lawyer who will take an aggressive approach against prosecutors who are seeking to put you in jail. In addition to a jail sentence, you may face excessive fines from the Texas Department of Public Safety, probation, and license suspension or revocation. It is essential to have an experienced legal professional at the outset to protect your rights.
