Hiring Jeff Kennedy turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. Mr. Kennedy was able to have my case dismissed. Yes, outright dismissal of the charge!
We did exactly as Jeff instructed and the case was dismissed. There are no words to explain how happy we are with his performance.
Jeff was able to get my twice the legal limit BAC thrown out and he kept me from having an interlock device put on my car.

Drug charges are one of the most vigorously and widely prosecuted crimes in Fort Worth, Arlington and throughout Tarrant County.
The Law Offices of Jeff C. Kennedy can assist you with preparing the best defense for misdemeanor and felony drug charges including Possession of Marijuana, Possession of a Controlled Substance, Possession of a Dangerous Drug, Drug Possession with Intent to Sell or Deliver, and Drug Manufacturing. If you have been charged or are under investigation for a drug, narcotic, or controlled substance related offense in Tarrant County, our drug charges attorneys can help.
Drug Possession is a serious criminal charge and can carry a wide range of punishments in Texas ranging from probation or county jail time to lengthy prison sentences. Furthermore, if you are convicted of a drug charge you may also face suspension of your driver’s license. Our criminal defense lawyers have extensive experience in successfully defending misdemeanor and felony drug offenses.
We represent individuals charged or under investigation for drug, narcotics, and controlled substance related offenses including: Marijuana, Cocaine, Crack Cocaine, Methamphetamine (“Meth”), Amphetamine, MDMA (Ecstasy), Heroine, GHB, Rohypnol, LSD, Mescaline, prescription drugs such as OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin, Hydrocodone, Valium, Lortab, and Xanax, or any other drug.
Possession of any usable quantity of Marijuana is illegal in the State of Texas. Penalties for Marijuana Possession are serious and vary dependent upon the quantity of marijuana possessed:
Texas provides for increased penalties for possession in a Drug Free Zone such as a school, playground, school bus, youth center, video arcade facility or public swimming pool. If you are charged with Possession in a Drug Free Zone, the penalty is increased one level higher from the original penalty range associated with the amount possessed.
Possession of Drug Paraphernalia is classified as a Class C Misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $500.00 and is generally filed in Justice of the Peace or Municipal Court. Common items that could be categorized as paraphernalia include: a pipe, bong, rolling papers, grinder, scale, sifter, syringe, cellphone bag, any item used in packaging or any item used in mixing drugs.
Many people believe that, if they are “caught” in possession of drugs, they’re automatically guilty, but that’s actually not true. Just because you’ve been found with marijuana on or near your person doesn’t necessarily prove it was yours.
The prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the drugs belonged to you—not to the buddy who was riding in your car or sleeping on your sofa. This is one example of a defense against a marijuana conviction. Here are some other defenses your marijuana possession attorney in Tarrant County could use for your case:
For the most successful defense, you must contact a Tarrant County drug attorney as soon as possible in order to start preparing your defense. Every minute that passes by gives law enforcement more time to build a stronger case against you.
And don’t assume that just because you have been charged with a drug offense that you’re automatically guilty or will be convicted. Law enforcement officers make mistakes all the time. Were your constitutional rights violated? Did the police officer have a legal reason to search your home, vehicle, or person? Was a search warrant properly obtained?
At the Law Offices of Jeff C. Kennedy, we do everything in our power to get your case dismissed. With more than 20 years of experience defending drug crimes in Tarrant County, we have what it takes to resolve your case with the best legal outcome possible. Our drug attorneys have favorably resolved hundreds of drug cases with dismissals.
