Drug Crime Defense Is What We Do Best
Federal drug charges demand a swift and skilled defense. These charges are usually the culmination of a long, thorough and coordinated investigation, and mandatory prison sentences await those who are convicted.
Troy Locklear, Attorney at Law is able to provide an experienced defense against federal drug crime charges, including major drug trafficking cases and complex indictments involving dozens of co-defendants.
The best opportunity to alter the outcome in your favor is at the very beginning of your case. If your family member was caught up in a federal drug sting, or you suspect that you are under investigation, contact us immediately. Troy Locklear and the attorneys that work with him represent U.S. citizens or foreign nationals facing federal charges in Texas and beyond.
Federal Drug Crime Defense
Trial lawyer Troy S. Locklear brings over 15 years of criminal defense experience. Drug crimes — especially federal drug charges — are a major focus of his practice. He can capably defend clients no matter what the issue:
- Possession or possession with intent to distribute
- Manufacture or cultivation (meth labs, growing marijuana)
- Transporting or smuggling drugs
- Drug trafficking and conspiracy
- Money laundering and asset seizure
- Drug-related firearms offenses
We Represent the Accused and the Family
The "big fish" already know who their lawyer is. Our clients are often small-time players in a big operation — if they are involved at all — and many have never been in the criminal system before. We sit down with family members to explain what's happening to your loved one, and to prepare the accused and the family for the next steps.
The first two court appearances are extremely important: the probable cause hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to hold the person and go forward with the charges, and then a bond hearing to determine if the accused will be released until trial. After that, we will determine the best strategy to avoid a conviction or limit the consequences.
A Vigorous Defense Against Serious Charges
Our clients are usually arrested in a raid, after an undercover transaction, or on a pretext traffic stop. Whatever the circumstances, you can be assured that the feds already had you on their radar. They have a file on you — where you live, who your family members are, your work history, your criminal record. And they will have evidence — drugs, cash, financial transactions, wiretaps, informants and undercover agents.
But it's never an open-and-shut case. You will not gain anything by cooperating with investigators or pleading guilty. Our legal team knows how to find the holes in the prosecution's case to get the charged dropped or reduced, to find leverage for negotiations, or to fight for your freedom at trial.
We offer peace of mind for the family and proven defense for the accused. Find out how we can help. Contact our Houston office 24 hours a day at 888-732-9462.
