Drug Charges

Minocha Law Firm defends people accused of drug charges in Texas state and federal courts, including drug possession, manufacturing, intent to deliver, and interstate drug trafficking.

Drug charges–even marijuana possession–can impact everyday life.

Drug charges, including simple drug possession, have serious consequences, which may include:

losing your driver’s license,
losing employment or a chance at future employment,
losing your housing,
losing or being unable to apply for student financial aid in the future, or
deportation.

Even for simple marijuana possession or drug possession you should hire a criminal defense lawyer like Sanjay Minocha to help you fight or negotiate with the prosecutors.

There are many ways to defeat drug charges prior to trial.

For example, depending on the circumstances, an attorney may be able to file a motion to suppress asserting your constitutional right to privacy. Sometimes it makes sense to retest the alleged drugs when there is a question about the content or weight of the alleged drugs. As with any case, there are many other procedural and legal devices an attorney can aggressively pursue to defeat the State’s case against you.

There are often other ways to avoid the harshest consequences of guilt.

In Dallas and many North Texas counties, courts have set up “diversion” programs for simple marijuana possession or drug courts with alternative sentencing for other drug possession charges. Under these programs, a defendant may be eligible to avoid a conviction and later be eligible for expunction or nondisclosure of any criminal history.

The key is hiring a knowledgeable lawyer to educate and advise you about all possible options and one who can pursue these options with the prosecutor on your behalf.

Trustworthy

Sadly, many lawyers consider their law license a license to steal, giving good lawyers a bad name. Sanjay Minocha strives to be a good person, first and foremost. He aims to practice law ethically and with the highest integrity. If Sanjay tells you he will do something, he stands by his word. Sanjay won’t sell you false hope and will tell you generally what to expect before you pay him your hard-earned money.

Dedicated

Sanjay Minocha will work hard on your case to give you his best representation. He will investigate the facts of every case and research the law before advising you on what you should do. Once you decide upon a course of action, Sanjay will carry it through. Sanjay tries to go the extra mile for his clients. He makes it a point to visit his jailed clients regularly and does his best to accommodate clients with items like payment plans or by traveling to them when possible.

Knowledgeable

Many clients expect lawyers to know every detail of the law and be able to tell them what will happen the first time the lawyer hears the facts. In reality, every case is different and will require specific approaches depending on the circumstances. The key is for the lawyer to understand the legal issues based on the facts, and to know where to research the law on those issues. Sanjay Minocha has the experience and knowledge of law that enables him to thoroughly assess the situation and advise you on the best possible option or options.

Aggressive

Clients often think of “aggressive” lawyers as loud and argumentative—pit bulls in the courtroom. But being aggressive in a case involves more than just big talk, it involves diligence and a willingness to challenge the other side. Sanjay Minocha will aggressively pursue all avenues for your defense, beginning before a case has been filed. The earlier you hire an attorney, the more options are available for the attorney to forcefully attack the prosecutor’s case. Sanjay will file all appropriate pre-trial motions (e.g., examining trials, motions to suppress, speedy trial motions, etc.) to fight for your rights.

Caring

Sanjay Minocha cares fiercely about each of his clients. He takes the time to get to know his clients for two main reasons. First, Sanjay truly wants to help people in trouble. He left a career representing businesses fighting over money because he felt like he had abandoned the people who really need his help. Second, understanding his clients helps Sanjay defend them, whether in negotiations with the prosecutor or explaining a client’s life story and motives to a jury during trial. Sanjay believes compassion is integral in presenting the best defense.

Responsive

The number one complaint of most legal clients is that their attorneys fail to communicate. Sanjay Minocha makes an effort to return his clients’ calls or emails within a couple days—usually the same day. Sanjay will keep you updated with any new case developments and the work he has been doing on your case.
