Drug Possession Charges
If convicted for drug possession in the state of Texas, you face jail time, expensive fines, and the likelihood of a permanent criminal record. Additionally, you will likely lose your driver’s license, be disqualified for government-backed student loans, and be deported if you are not a US citizen.
While marijuana possession under 2 ounces is a class B misdemeanor, any amount of heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, or methamphetamine is considered a felony and is a very serious offense In cases where larger amounts of drugs are involved, the law assumes you are involved in narcotics trafficking, increasing the penalties even more.
For these reasons, it’s essential to work with an experienced criminal defense attorney who is familiar with the tactics police use conducting questionable car stops and unconstitutional searches while failing to determine who actually owns the drugs in question.
Possession of Illegal Drugs
I represent people charged with drug possession involving the following:
- Marijuana
- Heroin
- Cocaine
- Ecstasy
- Pain Killers
- Methamphetamine
- LSD
- Mushrooms (Psilocybin)
- Illegal prescription drugs
- Fighting Drug Possession Charges
Too often, over-zealous officers don’t follow constitutional procedure or decide to “improvise” in the field in order to “get an arrest.” In the process, they violate the Fourth Amendment by conducting an illegal car stop, or by making illegal entry into a home. As a criminal defense attorney, I’m familiar with the kinds of tactics police use in order to conduct questionable searches or extract confessions from people they’ve detained in interrogative custody. I point to conflicting testimony on the part of officers, use dashboard camera video footage when possible, and expose misleading police reports in order to suppress evidence and have the charges against my client dropped.

Mr. Fickman was recommended to me after an error in judgment (aka breaking the law) landed me in criminal court. There is so much going on in a criminal case, hiring someone out of a phone book just won’t do. After the first several hour long consultation we discussed the fee and that was what it was throughout the year long ordeal. The ability of Mr. Fickman to maneuver through the entire process helped me maintain my calm. One has to remember that the lawyer is more than just someone whom will represent them. I learned that the lawyer is the intermediary with the DA. I believe Mr. Fickman’s professionalism was the ingredient that that helped to get the case dismissed. His having an excellent assistant went a long way, as well. Martha was the icing on the cake for his services. Thank you, Mr. Fickman (and Martha).

Robb has worked on my Federal case for 5 years, the outcome today was spectacular. NO JAIL TIME. I highly recommend Robb, be honest to him about everything and he will do his absolute best job to represent you. He’s very detailed, when I went to him 5 years ago he asked me questions that I thought what in the he** does he need this information for…. he needed it to defend me fairly.

Mr. Fickman went above and beyond my expectations for my case. He was under the weather during the beginning of my case and still worked hard through it all. He is detailed, intelligent, and driven. Great attorney, would recommend to anyone.

Mr. Fickman took my case and did everything possible to make sure the outcome was a positive one for me. In the end, after completing all of the steps I was asked to do by the courts, my case was ultimately dismissed. I couldn’t have asked for anymore more real and understanding. I would definitely recommend Mr. Fickman.

Very experienced lawyer. Hired Mr. Fickman to represent my dad in a Sexual Assault case. Such case got dismissed at the Grand Jury. The lawyer informed us of every step during the 7-month process and was always honest and profesional. Hope to never have to hire again but in a situation like the one we had this is a lawyer that will have your back and fight his hardest for his clients interests.

From the initial consultation, Robb was very thorough and very personable. Given the circumstance and possible outcomes with a possibility of an upgraded charge, he helped me get what exactly I had in mind prior to hiring him. Hopefully I don’t need to but have no reservations on hiring him again if needed. Thank you Sir!
