Experienced Criminal Defense for Marijuana Charges
Although marijuana laws continue to change across the country, possession of marijuana remains illegal in Texas in many circumstances. A conviction can carry consequences that extend well beyond the courtroom, affecting employment, education, professional licenses, and future opportunities.
Attorney Jordan G. Fries represents clients throughout South Texas facing marijuana possession charges and provides thoughtful, strategic representation focused on protecting their rights and future.
Many marijuana arrests begin during a traffic stop, but cases may also arise from search warrants, investigations, or encounters with law enforcement in other settings.
Even when officers recover marijuana, that does not automatically resolve every legal issue. Questions often arise regarding how the evidence was obtained, whether the search was lawful, and whether prosecutors can establish that the accused knowingly possessed the substance.
These issues become especially important when marijuana is found in a shared vehicle, apartment, or other location occupied by more than one person.
The penalties for marijuana possession vary depending on the amount involved and the circumstances surrounding the arrest.
A conviction may lead to:
Because every case is different, it’s important to understand the specific allegations before making decisions about how to proceed.
Every marijuana possession case deserves a thorough review of the investigation.
Jordan examines whether the traffic stop or detention was lawful, whether officers had legal authority to conduct a search, whether evidence was properly collected, and whether prosecutors can prove every element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt.
By carefully evaluating the facts, he works to identify legal issues that may strengthen your defense.
Jordan understands that a criminal charge can affect every aspect of your life. He believes clients deserve straightforward advice, responsive communication, and a defense strategy built around the unique facts of their case—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
