Our firm helps people who have been accused and charged with possession of marijuana. Our motto is "Texas Friendly Spoken Here." Although we are based in Austin, we have a state-wide practice, ensuring that your defense is fair and impartial. At Chris Dorbandt & Associates, we are very experienced in handling possession of marijuana charges.

The seriousness of the charges you face depends on the amount of marijuana. Less than two ounces exposes you to a minor misdemeanor charge, but the consequences go up steeply from there. Possession of two to four ounces is a Class A Misdemeanor, and possession over four ounces is considered a felony.

A drug charge on your criminal history can be detrimental to your future so our first step is to have the charges completely dismissed. If dismissal or an acquittal at trial is not possible, we will seek to reduce the charges or minimize the penalties where possible.

For first time offenders, we will also seek the possibility of pre-trial programs that, if completed successfully, would result in dismissal of the charge against you.

If you have been charged with a Marijuana possession and/or sales offense, you need to retain the services of a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. We can help by investigating and collecting evidence necessary to defeat a drug offense.

Remember, in the United States you are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Pleading "guilty" or "no contest" to a drug crime will leave you with a criminal record for the remainder of your life. A criminal conviction is a public record. How might this incident impact your personal or professional life, especially if you've been convicted of a felony or serious misdemeanor?
