Working to Minimize Your Penalties and Protect You From Overreaching Theories
Based in Houston, our Texas criminal defense firm aggressively fights overreaching government theories aimed to nab the most marginally involved people in federal drug crime cases.
For nearly a decade, Brownsville drug crime appeal lawyer Seth Kretzer has represented individuals in South Texas and throughout the state in varied federal crimes, including drug crime cases involving marijuana, hashish, cocaine, Ecstasy, prescription drugs, etc.
While many of our clients have been convicted of conspiracy, the determining factors that will ultimately depend on the punishment given are the type of drug and the weight/quantity that an individual is found in connection with in a case.
We recognize that your sentencing has real-world consequences. When you consult with the Law Offices of Seth Kretzer, we will tirelessly work to minimize your exposure to negative legal consequences by thoroughly examining your case. Our criminal appeals lawyer will:
- Look at what objections and statements were made in court
- Revaluate the strength of the evidence used to sustain your drug crimes conviction
- Determine which sentencing guidelines are applicable to attack guidelines which were inappropriately applied and wrongfully enhanced your sentence
- Work with an investigator to determine how to minimize your criminal history score
- Explore expungement of old state convictions to reduce your criminal history score.
One of the most important steps we take is to learn if you are safety valve eligible. The sentencing guidelines set out a set of requirements that, if you meet, make you eligible to serve far less time than the Probation Department is trying to stick you with. Because the federal safety valve can literally take years off of your sentence, we will take an innovative and aggressive approach to clarify and defend your eligibility.
Attorney Seth Kretzer will meet with you during confidential consultations to discuss your conviction and your options for appeal. By learning the facts of your case and the circumstances of your prosecution right away, we can begin preparing your appeal with the end goal of victory in mind."
