Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer

I became a criminal defense attorney when I realized that I was far more suited to the high-energy, proactive work of the courtroom than the desk work involved with civil law. I have a hands-on approach to collecting evidence and a passion for tracking down details. This combined with the fact that I've always been competitive and a bit of a rebel makes me the perfect fit for a criminal defense lawyer career.

What Makes Wade Prasifka Uniquely Qualified to Defend Drug Cases?

I put together highly effective defenses because I honestly believe that in many instances the arresting officers have invaded your privacy and hindered your right to live without unreasonable acts of authority. I studied 4th amendment search and seizure law with one of the leading criminal law professors in the country, and I've applied that knowledge to get hundreds of cases successfully resolved. Too often, a drug crime lawyer will plead guilty or move into court proceedings without taking the time to search for the evidence that would keep the case out of court.

My undergraduate degree in biology from Southern Methodist University further qualifies me to work on drug cases, as I have the background to challenge the results of government lab reports and the findings of the drug recognition experts. I'm also involved in the related area of alcohol substance abuse cases and am a Certified Field Sobriety Practitioner of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Today I work closely with my mentor whose 25 years of experience in the field criminal law is an invaluable resource to me. Other criminal defense lawyers in my office are also accustomed to my passionate, yet meticulous, methods. Your drug crime case will benefit from my colleagues collective knowledge; I often stick my head into their offices to sniff out the answer to some small, but important detail.
