Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer Handling Marijuana Offenses
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 Texas and U.S. constitutions 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?

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 drug cases to court, including cases involving drug charges ranging from possession of marijuana to international drug trafficking.
Attorney Chip Lewis Takes Marijuana Charges Seriously
The law office of Chip B. Lewis, LLC provides aggressive criminal defense in both state drug charges and federal drug charges related to marijuana, such as:
- Possession of marijuana
- Possession of marijuana with intent to sell
- Distribution, trafficking or importation of marijuana
- Cultivation of marijuana
- Possession of illegal drug paraphernalia
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 able to determine early in your case that an illegal search and seizure took place, he may be able to prevent charges from being filed at all. You may avoid having a criminal record on the basis of the search and seizure of marijuana that was conducted illegally on your property.
