Skilled Attorney Defending Clients Accused of Criminal Offenses in Euless

If you have been accused of a crime in Texas, you may face unforgiving prosecution in a court of law. Depending on the offense you have been charged with, you could be sentenced to years in prison, along with permanent damage to your reputation. A Euless criminal defense lawyer can represent you in front of a judge, making sure that you have a voice in the legal proceedings.

At The Meza Law Firm, PLLC, we have experience handling serious criminal cases on behalf of our clients. With a strategy of aggressive advocacy and skilled negotiation, we will do everything in our power to get your charges reduced or dismissed.

Weapons Crimes

Getting charged with a weapons crime can seriously jeopardize your future. If convicted of an offense involving a firearm or another dangerous weapon, you could lose your right to own a gun.

In Texas, you could face charges of deadly conduct based on the reckless use of a firearm. If you knowingly fire a gun at another person, habitation, vehicle, or building, you could be charged with a third-degree felony offense, punishable by anywhere from two to 10 years in prison. A misdemeanor assault charge can also be escalated to aggravated felony assault if you are accused of displaying or using a deadly weapon during the act.

At The Meza Law Firm, PLLC, we can work with you to determine the best defense for a weapons charge. We may be able to argue that your conduct was not reckless or that you did not intend to cause anyone injury. To support your case, we can cross-examine witnesses and carefully look through any available photo or video evidence.

DWI

In Texas, you could be charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) in two different cases:

• You are pulled over and detained with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 percent or higher.
• You are found to be impaired behind the wheel due to the presence of drugs or alcohol in your system.

Under most circumstances, DWI is a Class B misdemeanor punishable by up to 180 days in jail. However, if your blood alcohol concentration was above .15 percent at the time of the offense, you could face Class A misdemeanor penalties, carrying up to a year of incarceration. Worse, you may face felony charges for injuring another person while drunk driving.

At The Meza Law Firm, PLLC, we can challenge the prosecution's case in a DWI charge. We may question whether there was probable cause for the officer to pull you over or examine whether the results of chemical tests were accurate, among countless other DWI defenses. In some circumstances, the case against you could be dismissed outright due to improper procedures by law enforcement.

Drug Possession

Texas can be unforgiving when it comes to drug crimes, even mere possession. This crime can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony depending on the type of drug and how much was seized by law enforcement. If the police found large quantities of drugs along with measuring scales or other paraphernalia, you could face a much more serious charge of possession with intent to distribute.

At The Meza Law Firm, PLLC, we will aggressively contest any drug possession charge on your behalf, looking for mitigating circumstances that may allow for a reduced charge. We could assert that you had no knowledge of any illegal substances in your possession, or we may question whether the police carried out an illegal search.
