Skilled Legal Defense For All Kinds Of Drug Offenses
Drug violations include a wide range of charges, each carrying its own legal challenges. At A. González Law Firm, P.L.L.C., we offer strong legal support across various offenses. Our focus includes:
- Drug possession defense
- Controlled substances crimes
- Drug manufacturing
- Prescription drug offenses
- Drug distribution charges
- Drug trafficking defense

The severity of drug charges can vary significantly, from minor misdemeanors to serious felonies. Nevertheless, any conviction can have potentially life-altering consequences.
Facing Legal Challenges For Various Substances
The severity of drug-related charges often depends on the specific substance involved. That is why at our firm, we tailor our defense strategies to address the complexities of various substances:
- Marijuana: Corpus Christi’s “cite and release” policy allows citations for minor possession instead of arrest. However, marijuana is still illegal in Texas. We will guide you through the legal process and defend you against related charges.
- Opioids and prescription medications: We provide tailored defense for illegal possession and fraud.
- Methamphetamine: Our team will develop strong defense strategies for meth-related charges, such as possession, manufacturing and distribution.
- Cocaine: We will address the severe legal consequences of cocaine offenses, from possession to trafficking.
- Fentanyl and other synthetic drugs: Your drug offense lawyer will build a targeted defense for charges involving synthetic drugs.
Remember that each substance requires a nuanced approach. At A. González Law Firm, P.L.L.C., we are committed to providing customized strategies to address the specific needs of each case.
Clarifying Common Queries About Drug-Related Charges
Here are common questions our attorneys often receive:
What are the penalties for drug possession in Corpus Christi, Texas?
Penalties can vary depending on the type of substance involved. Generally, they can range from fines and probation for minor offenses to significant jail time for more serious acts.
What’s the difference between possession and intent to distribute?
Possession refers to having a controlled substance for personal use, while intent to distribute involves having large quantities or additional evidence suggesting plans to sell or distribute drugs. The latter carries more severe penalties.
Can I get probation instead of jail time for a drug offense?
Yes, depending on the nature of the offense and other factors. Judges may consider probation, especially for first-time or nonviolent offenders, as it allows people to serve their sentence under supervision in the community rather than in jail.
How do citation/release policies work for marijuana in Corpus Christi?
This policy allows police to issue citations for minor marijuana possession instead of making an arrest. This means individuals receive a ticket and must appear in court later.
Can drug charges be expunged from my record?
Expunging drug charges, including federal drug crimes, is possible under specific circumstances. These may include dismissals or not guilty verdicts.
Will I lose my driver’s license for a drug conviction?
Yes, a drug conviction can lead to a driver’s license suspension, particularly if the offense involved drugged driving.
