Understanding Drug Crimes in Texas

Drug crimes in Texas can range from possession to manufacturing and trafficking, and the state courts take a tough stance on these types of offenses. At The Law Offices of Will Mitchell, we understand how intimidating the legal system can seem when facing drug-related charges. Our experienced criminal defense attorneys are dedicated to helping our clients achieve the best possible outcome through aggressive representation. 

Some of the drug-related crimes you can be charged with include: 

  • Possession of drugs/controlled substances (e.g., marijuana, cocaine, heroin)

  • Trafficking illegal drugs 
  • Prescription fraud (forging prescriptions for narcotics)

  • "I would hire him immediately. Great lawyer, five stars."
    Will Mitchell was friendly, courteous, respectful, and while I always felt welcome to ask questions about my case or even chat about the weather, he never wasted either of our time. He clearly explained the convoluted issues I was facing and how we were going to resolve them, and gave me all the information I needed about the process before I hired him so I could make an informed decision about how I was spending my money. He kept my priorities in mind and worked with me on my financial constraints while being clear on what my money would buy me. But best of all I always got friendly updates on what was happening so I was up to date on my legal status. I hope to never need him again but if I ever find myself in a clusterfuck of unpaid tickets I would hire him immediately. Great lawyer, five stars.

  • "I carry his card on me, because I believe in him and trust him."
    After being arrested for DWI, it is easy to feel lost, scared, confused, and unsure of where to turn for help. Luckily, I was recommended the legal services of Will Mitchell. From the initial consultation until my final court appearance, Will was there for me throughout the entire process. In a very frightening time, Will was able to put me at ease and guide me through a difficult situation. Due to his expertise and dedication, he was able to lessen my charge to a much more favorable outcome. I had multiple consultations before I was directed towards Will, and they all resulted in frustration, fear, and intimidation. I, like many Austin residents, work in the Service Industry, and was not financially able to afford much more than a public defender. His services are invaluable, but reached at a reasonable, flexible rate. I carry his card on me, because I believe in him and trust him.

  • "When Will says he can handle a case, he means it."

    Mr. Mitchell is an intelligent, qualified, and effective person to have represent you. When Will says he can handle a case, he means it. Always a straight shooter, I felt I was in good hands and would recommend his law office to anyone in need.

  • "I can't say enough amazing things about Will Mitchell."
    I can't say enough amazing things about Will Mitchell. My case was dismissed (I didn't think we had a shot) and now just signed a petition for it to be removed for good. I'm typically a little over-amped with my thoughts in general, and he was very responsive and always had calming things to say! I felt I could reach him regarding any little question, and he was always happy to help. I'm still blown away that he was able to get the DWI dismissed, and now off my record. He's a fantastic lawyer, and I'm so happy I chose him!

  • "Will has saved my life!"
    Will has saved my life! I was moving to Virginia on a probation transfer to be with my fiancé and because of Will I was able to make it happen, he responded to all my calls when I was freaking out and assured me exactly what he could do which made me calm plus he did exactly what he said he would, you don’t understand how much I appreciate you, Will!
