Examining the investigation, evidence, and constitutional issues behind drug accusations.
The brief
Drug charges can carry jail or prison time, fines, probation, and a permanent record. The severity depends on the substance, the amount, and whether possession, manufacture, or intent to deliver is alleged.
The Law Office of Claudia Lopez, PLLC handles possession of controlled substances, marijuana offenses, possession with intent to deliver, and manufacture or delivery. The firm reviews the search, stop, arrest, statements, and lab testing for constitutional violations.

Your first conversation
Bring what you have. Missing a report or record does not prevent you from contacting the firm. Discuss how to share sensitive material securely.
Charging and release documents, bond conditions, case numbers, and upcoming court dates.
The location and sequence of the stop or search and any warrant paperwork provided.
Information about others present and who had access to the vehicle, room, or property searched.
Relevant prescriptions or medical records to discuss privately with the attorney.
Common questions
General information. Your circumstances require individual advice from an attorney.
The Texas Controlled Substances Act separates offenses by substance classifications, amounts, and alleged conduct. The specific charging provision, laboratory evidence, and facts matter when assessing the case. A general description such as 'drug possession' does not identify every applicable issue.
Tell the attorney who was present, who had access, where the item was found, and what statements were made. The firm examines possession and the evidence linking a person to the alleged substance instead of assuming that proximity resolves the question.
Yes. The firm's review includes the stop, search, arrest, statements, and laboratory testing. Whether a constitutional challenge is available depends on the facts and law; a concern about a search does not automatically establish that a charge will be dismissed.
