Drug Crimes

Texas is particularly harsh when it comes to sentencing those convicted of drug crimes. The punishment depends on the quantity and type of drug.

• Cannabis - A conviction for possession of cannabis can result in a punishment of 180 days in jail to life in prison if in possession of 2,000 pounds or more.

• Cocaine & Heroin - A conviction of a crime involving cocaine or heroin can be punishable between two years in prison to life in prison.

Violent & Capital Crimes

Assault & Battery

Commonly referred to as the same crime, assault and battery have two different meanings, although they are closely linked. Assault is when a person threatens someone else with imminent bodily injury, and battery occurs when there is actual bodily contact.

These crimes have a wide range in which they can be charged. The minimum charge a person can face is a Class C misdemeanor which can result in fines of up to $500. If there was a weapon involved, then the crime would be charged as an aggravated assault, which can be charged as a first-degree felony.

Murder & Capital Punishment

Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, is only assigned to the most severe cases of murder. Specific circumstances that can result in the death penalty include:

• Murder of a public servant

• A murder that occurred while committing or attempting another felony like kidnapping, robbery, rape, etc.

• Murder for hire

• Murder of a child under the age of 10

Violent crimes are among the worst crimes for which a person can be convicted. Whether you were accused of manslaughter, murder, domestic assault, or another crime, you need a criminal defense attorney who can build a strong defense and aggressively fight for your rights. Do not hesitate in contacting The Law Office of D. Patrick Jordan and the Law Office of Marshall McCallum in Dallas, Texas, if you have been charged with a serious violent crime.

White-Collar Crimes

A white-collar crime is a non-violent crime typically committed for financial gain. Because they often involve large amounts of cash, these charges come from the federal government instead of the state government. There are a few different white-collar crimes that a person can be charged with, including:

• Corporate fraud

• Tax evasion

• Money laundering

• Embezzlement

• Healthcare fraud
