Austin Drug Possession Defense Lawyer

Have you been charged with drug possession in Austin, Texas? Helping people with their legal problems, including possession of marijuana or other drug possession charges is one many reasons that Austin lawyer Kevin Bennett practices criminal defense in Travis County.

One mistake that Attorney Kevin Bennett often sees defendants in a criminal case make is that they try to represent themselves ("pro-se") in court. Although a case may seem simple to a pro-se defendant, it may just seem simple because the defendant did not or has not identified all of the legal issues involved in their case. A criminal defense attorney who is trained to identify potential legal issues and who has encountered similar types cases in their daily job, is probably more likely to identify these issues and bring them to a court, a jury or a prosecutor's attention. As a pro-se defendant, I wouldn't count on a prosecutor to bring these types issues to your attention. After all, a prosecutor's job is not to defend you as is a defense attorney's job.

If you are confused or unsure how to proceed, please call Attorney Kevin Bennett at (512) 476-4626. You may also contact us through email.
