Defense of State and Federal Drug Charges in Texas

At The Matlock Law Firm in Fort Worth, we represent people under investigation or indictment for serious state or federal drug charges. If you have been arrested on charges ranging from possession of marijuana to a major federal drug trafficking conspiracy, contact Texas criminal defense lawyer Shawn Matlock for a free consultation about your situation.

Our firm can provide insightful and energetic client service whether you're a first offender eligible for deferred adjudication, or were caught with large quantities of cocaine or methamphetamine in a car or truck. We can help you resolve such illegal drug and controlled substance offenses as the following:

• Possession with intent to distribute marijuana, heroin, cocaine, crack, or methamphetamine
• Possession or distribution of prescription drugs and painkillers without authorization
• Unauthorized sale of prescription drugs or counterfeit drugs online
• Cultivation of marijuana, manufacture of methamphetamine, or possession of precursor drugs
• Conspiracy to import, manufacture, or distribute illegal drugs

We not only defend clients on serious state or federal drug charges, we also represent people on related charges such as money laundering in furtherance of a drug conspiracy. In cases where substantial quantities of drugs and cash are seized in a traffic stop or in the execution of a search warrant, we also represent clients in civil asset forfeiture proceedings. Even if your case eventually results in a conviction, we can often achieve the partial or complete return of seized property such as money, motor vehicles or other assets.

Fort Worth defense attorney Shawn Matlock has the experience necessary to examine your case in sufficient detail to identify every promising avenue of defense. Even if the evidence in your case indicates that a negotiated plea agreement is the best approach, he can still represent your interests in arguing for a suspended sentence or deferred adjudication prior to eventual dismissal.
