Texas Drug Charges Attorney
It's not uncommon for college students and other adults to experiment with alcohol or drugs. Many people think they will be able to try drugs a few times without getting caught. No one expects to be facing criminal charges for something that seemed so harmless.
Unfortunately, if you are a student at Texas State University or the University of Texas, or if you live in the San Marcos or Central Texas area, you may need a lawyer to protect your rights. I am attorney Rich Ursha, and I defend clients who are facing drug, alcohol or other criminal charges. Prior to becoming a lawyer, I was a Special Prosecutor, Federal Law Enforcement Officer and served in the Army Infantry. My firm — the Law Firm of Harwood & Ursha, PLLC — brings more than a dozen years of legal experience to our clients, and our clients feel better knowing they're in competent hands.
Thinking About Short- and Long-Term Solutions
If you are facing criminal charges, you are probably worried about how it will impact your future. I am concerned with helping my clients resolve their immediate problems, but I also think about proactively protecting their futures. A criminal conviction on your record could make it difficult to get a job, rent an apartment or receive loans down the road. When possible, I try to get my clients cases dismissed in a way they can be expunged or sealed thru nondisclosure.
We work to create legal solutions that address your short-term concerns and protect your best interests in the long run.
In most criminal cases, there are things that can be done to protect your best interests and get your case dismissed. Without the counsel of an attorney, however, you may not know what to do. You need a San Marcos criminal defense lawyer who understands every possible scenario to fight for your rights. Contact me online or call 512-847-1717 to schedule your free initial consultation.
