Experienced Defense Attorney for Fentanyl Charges
A fentanyl arrest can become a serious felony case before the accused knows exactly what prosecutors are claiming. Key questions include where the substance was found, who could access it, and whether the State is alleging possession, delivery, or something more serious.
Attorney Jordan G. Fries represents people facing serious drug charges in Victoria, Port Lavaca, and surrounding South Texas communities.
Not every fentanyl case involves the same allegation. The specific charge depends on what prosecutors believe happened and the evidence they have to support it. Common fentanyl charges include:
Another detail many people don’t realize is that Texas generally bases the charge on the total weight of the mixture containing fentanyl—not just the amount of pure fentanyl. That can significantly affect how a case is charged
A conviction for a fentanyl offense can affect far more than the sentence imposed by the court. Depending on the charge and the facts of the case, a conviction may result in:
The consequences often continue long after the criminal case is over. Having experienced legal guidance makes for a significantly stronger defense from the beginning.
Jordan starts by separating assumption from proof. In a shared car, house, or hotel room, proximity alone does not answer who knew the substance was there or who controlled it. He examines the reason for the search, the scope of any warrant, the path from seizure to laboratory, and whether the reported substance and weight match the accusation.
Jordan previously served as a felony prosecutor and First Assistant Criminal District Attorney for Victoria County and has led more than 30 jury trials. That background helps him recognize which details prosecutors tend to emphasize and which unanswered questions may change how a case is evaluated.
