Facing Drug Charges in Texas
An Experienced Defense for State and Federal Drug Charges
When charged with a drug crime, whether at the state or federal level, the expertise of your defense attorney can significantly influence the outcome of your case. John Teakell is well-versed in Texas and Federal procedure. He knows the rules for collecting evidence and how easily those can sometimes be broken in a law enforcement officer’s eagerness to close a case. He will carefully examine all witness testimony to expose ulterior motives that might lead to a false conviction.
You Can’t Afford To Wait
The investigation phase of drug crimes is notoriously lengthy, often leading to higher conviction rates. Investigation delays can adversely affect the outcome, and cause undue stress about potential charges and outcomes. If you suspect you are being investigated or have already been charged with a drug crime, don’t wait. The longer you wait, the more time it gives prosecutors to build their case, lose or mishandle evidence that could help you, or for witnesses to forget details that might exonerate you. Call today and speak with John Teakell directly about your case.

Things can quickly become more complicated when the federal government gets involved. You could be facing a mandatory minimum sentence of one year in federal prison if they do. This is why having John Teakell in your corner is so important.
