EL Paso Drug Crime Lawyers

Proven Drug Defense Across Texas & New Mexico

Being charged with a Texas drug-related offense is a serious matter, especially during the present highly-charged war on drugs here and nationwide. All federal and state agencies pursue the prosecution of anyone they can, under any circumstances. 

Any arrest, whether for an oxycodone tablet or simple marijuana possession, can have collateral consequences beyond their criminal penalties. These consequences can impact an individual’s immigration status, ability to obtain student loans, borrow money, obtain employment, or find a place to live. 

Drug possession sentences are based on the type and quantity of the drug, making it hard to understand the penalties you may face. This is why working with a skilled drug defense attorney is crucial.

Benjamin Law Firm handles drug crimes throughout the state of Texas, ranging from simple possession in Sierra Blanca to possession of a controlled substance in El Paso County or federal possession with intent to distribute, punishable by up to life in prison. 

As a former prosecutor and Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, Attorney Brock Benjamin is well-versed in the applicable state and federal narcotics laws. 

Our firm has a well-earned reputation for aggressive legal representation and vigorously fighting for our clients' rights. If you have been charged with a drug crime, Benjamin Law Firm is a wise choice for criminal defense.

Drug Crimes in El Paso & Throughout Texas

Understanding the various types of drug offenses is essential for anyone facing charges:

  • Possession: Includes having illegal drugs on your person or under your control, such as marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, or heroin, without authorization.
  • Distribution and trafficking: Involves the sale, delivery, or intent to distribute illegal drugs, often carrying severe penalties.
  • Drug smuggling: This serious offense involves the illegal transportation of drugs across state or international borders and is typically prosecuted as a federal crime. It usually includes harsh penalties due to its large-scale and organized nature.
  • Manufacturing: Refers to the production or cultivation of controlled substances, including operating laboratories for synthetic drugs.
  • Drug paraphernalia: Possessing tools or equipment used for consuming, preparing, or manufacturing drugs can lead to additional charges.
  • Prescription fraud: Obtaining prescription medications through deceit, such as forging prescriptions or doctor shopping.
  • Conspiracy: Engaging in an agreement to commit a drug-related crime, with penalties applicable even if the crime is not completed.

State vs. Federal Drug Crimes

It's crucial to distinguish between state and federal drug offenses. State crimes typically involve smaller quantities and are prosecuted under Texas law, focusing on local impacts. 

Federal crimes, on the other hand, generally involve large-scale operations like trafficking or smuggling, particularly those crossing state or international borders. The DEA and other federal agencies investigate these, backed by the full resources of the U. S. federal government. 

Their investigations are generally lengthy and meticulous. If you are charged with a federal drug crime, you will need an attorney licensed to practice in the federal courts. Mr. Benjamin is a federally licensed attorney with court experience.
