Houston Marijuana Offenses Attorney
If you have been arrested and charged for possession or trafficking of marijuana, the question that your defense attorney will seek to answer from the start is this: Was the search and seizure handled legally? Citizens are protected by the U.S. Constitution from overreaching acts by law enforcement that infringe on our right to privacy. If marijuana was found in your car, in your home or on your person, this question must be answered before the case can proceed. How did the police discover marijuana? Did they have a legal right to search?
Contact Chip B. Lewis LLC to schedule a free initial consultation with an experienced and aggressive lawyer. Mr. Lewis has a reputation within the legal community and within the criminal justice system in Southeast and East Texas for his willingness to take cases to court, including cases involving drug charges such as marijuana possession.
Marijuana offenses may include the following:
- Possession
- Possession with intent to sell
- Trafficking

In the event that the quantity of marijuana described in your drug charges was "discovered" by way of an illegal search and seizure, the evidence will not be admissible in court. You have the right to have the circumstances of the search and seizure examined before the court, and case dismissal or acquittal may be the result. If Chip Lewis is your defense attorney early on in your case and he is able to determine quickly that illegal search and seizure took place, he may be able to prevent charges from being filed. You may avoid having a criminal record on the basis of the search and seizure of marijuana that was conducted illegally on your property.
