DUI, DWI and Other Alcohol-Related Charges
One of the most frequent type of criminal charges brought against residents in our area are what are commonly called “drunk driving” charges.
Conviction on drunken driving charges can carry severe consequences that can have repercussions for years to come.
Penalties for first time offenders can include fines, suspension of your driver’s license, probation and jail time. For repeat offenders the penalties can include substantially higher fines and mandatory jail time.
Making alcohol available to a minor is another criminal charge that is frequently filed in the Bryan / College Station area and can carry fines up to $4,000, jail time up to one year and suspension of your license.
Public intoxication (PI), Minor in Possession (MIP) and Open Container convictions can also result in substantial fines and probation.
If you are charged with an alcohol-related offense you will need the assistance of an experienced defense lawyer to ensure your rights are protected.
Although these alcohol-related charges have become increasingly hard to defend against in recent years, Chad E. Jones has helped hundreds of people mount successful defenses that have resulted in decreased fines and jail time, dismissal of charges, acquittals and deferred adjudication.
Assault Charges
Assault charges can arise from a variety of situations in which the accuser claims they were physically harmed or were in danger of being physically harmed by the accused.
Successful prosecution of assault charges requires the prosecutor to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the actions of the accused were not provoked or carried out in self defense. In such cases the intent of the accused can weigh heavily on the outcome of the case.
If you have been charged with assault it is imperative that you secure the services of an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. Call the Jones Law Firm, PC 24 hours at day at (979) 823-7300 to schedule an initial consultation.
Theft Charges
Theft, as defined by Texas law encompasses a number of offenses including shop lifting, embezzlement and hot check writing. Conviction on charges of theft becomes a part of your permanent criminal record and can affect your chances of securing certain types of employment and government funding, including student loans.
There are often mitigating circumstances that can either reduce or completely negate the culpability of the accused in these types of cases and criminal defense attorney Chad E. Jones has obtained acquittals, reduced sentences, deferred adjudication and dismissals for hundreds of clients in the Bryan / College Station area.
Drug Related Charges
If you have been charged with committing a drug-related crime including possession, manufacturing or distributing a controlled substance you could be facing substantial fines, jail or prison time.
Drug-related criminal charges vary depending on a number of factors but penalties for convictions have increased in severity in recent years. Depending on the amount and type of drugs in question and their alleged intended use the accused may face not only state but also federal charges.
Due to the complicated nature of laws regulating their possession and use, defending against drug-related charges can be an extremely complex process that requires the expertise of an experienced criminal defense attorney like Chad E. Jones.
