Waco Drug Crime Defense Attorney

The War on Drugs is rampant in the United States, especially Texas. For decades, law enforcement officials have worked tirelessly to crack down on drug offenders and punish them with the maximum sentence possible.

As a result, you need an attorney who will work even harder to defend your drug crime accusations. However, you cannot just depend on anyone to protect your freedom; you need an attorney who is an American Chemical Society-CHAL (ACS-CHAL) Forensic Lawyer-Scientist, certified expert in criminal trial law and former prosecutor. It’s rare to find a lawyer who obtains these three qualifications, but at The Greening Law Group, our lead attorney has all these qualities and more.

The purpose of an ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist is to:

use validated and legitimate science for the benefit of justice
study the science and apply it legitimately in the courtroom
expose invalid or non-validated science and use valid science in the courtroom
eschew the smoke and mirrors techniques of old and embrace the science for the benefit of all

Thus, there is no better law firm to represent your drug charge case than The Greening Law Group.

What Are Controlled Substances?

The Texas State Board of Pharmacy recognizes controlled drugs as those whose use and distribution are tightly controlled because of their abuse potential or risk. The Federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) places drugs in schedules according to their abuse risk.

Schedule I: Has a high abuse risk and no safe or accepted medical use in the US. Examples include heroin, marijuana, LSD, PCP and crack cocaine.

Schedule II: Has a high abuse risk and safe and accepted medical uses in the US. These drugs can cause severe psychological or physical dependence. Examples include certain narcotic, stimulant, and depressant drugs as well as morphine, cocaine, oxycodone (Percodan®), methylphenidate (Ritalin®) and dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine®).

Schedule III, IV & V: Have a lower abuse risk than Schedule II and also have safe and accepted medical uses in the US. Schedule III, IV, or V drugs include those containing smaller amounts of certain narcotic and non-narcotic drugs, anti-anxiety drugs, tranquilizers, sedatives, stimulant, and non-narcotic analgesics. Examples include acetaminophen with codeine (Tylenol® No.3), paregoric, diazepam (Valium®), alprazolam (Xanax®), propoxyphene (Darvon®) and pentazocine (Talwin®).

During my ongoing court case, I faced the unexpected transition of having to find a new legal representation. My previous lawyer had to step away due to a significant shift in his professional life, transitioning from a legal role to a different career path. He had emphasized to me that his departure had nothing to do with the case or any dissatisfaction with me as a client, but rather I would be better in someone else’s hands given his shift in his professional life. He was kind enough to provide me with a list of recommended attorneys to consider, underscoring his confidence in their abilities to take over where he left off.During this transition, I was fortunate to reconnect with Greg S., an investigator with whom I had a positive working relationship in the past. Greg has always been a reliable and kind presence, responding promptly to my questions and working diligently to investigate various aspects of my case. Knowing that he was now associated with the Greening Law Group, where Craig and Sarah are practicing, gave me a sense of continuity and trust. Additionally, Greg had highly praised Craig and Sarah adding to my eagerness to have them on my case.Since engaging with Craig and Sarah, and reconnecting with Greg, I have been impressed with their concerted efforts to fully understand the nuances of my case. They have been proactive in keeping me informed and providing guidance on the necessary steps ahead. Their approach has been both professional and personable, making the complex legal process more manageable.I cannot express enough my gratitude for the tireless efforts of Craig, Sarah, and Greg. I wholeheartedly recommend the Greening Law Group for their professionalism, empathy, and dedication to their clients' well-being. I look forward to continuing with them and trust their efforts will not be in vain. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others seeking competent and compassionate legal representation. In recognition of their exceptional service, I am honored to give them a well-deserved 5-star rating. Thank you, Craig, Sarah, and Greg, for being my steadfast allies during this crazy time.

Made appointment with Craig through Katia. She did a great job of answering all my questions and providing information. Went in for scheduled visit with Craig and was met by Katia at front desk. She was great at making me feel comfortable. We discussed case and I was impressed with her knowledge and responses. Craig then came in and we discussed further. I feel very confident in his abilities to litigate.
