Drug Crimes Defense Attorney in Houston

We are Stradley, Chernoff & Alford, a seasoned drug crimes law firm serving the Houston, Texas community.  Three of our partners are criminal lawyers certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.  We are former prosecutors and district attorneys fully familiar with the criminal justice system.  We have appeared in many trials defending clients in both the state and Federal courts and are familiar with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and state counterparts. 

Defense of Clients Accused of Drug Crimes

When we are retained, we meet with the client and get the details of the case, including the police procedure involved.  We are interested in the client's background as well as the facts of the case which could be possible routes for the defense of the charges. We confer with the government prosecutors involved and could seek dismissal or reduction of charges in many cases.

We are alert to violations of our client's rights against unreasonable searches and seizures.  Where present, we move to suppress the evidence.  Where there has been a confession, we investigate for duress and police failures to advise our clients of their rights to remain silent and to consult an attorney.  Where undercover agents are involved we check for instances of illegal entrapment of our clients.

At trial we vigorously present our defenses.  We tenaciously challenge the government case and cross-examine their witnesses.  We are quick to point out inadequacies in their proof and lies and inconsistencies in the testimony of their witnesses.  Our purpose is to show a reasonable doubt exists resulting in a not guilty verdict.

We are well regarded in the legal community for our aggressive defense of our client's rights.  We urge you to contact the firm to consult with a drug crimes defense attorney.
