Drug Crime Defense Lawyer in McAllen Protecting Your Rights Across the RGV

A drug charge can threaten your future — your job, your education, your immigration status, and your freedom. At HKC Law Firm, PLLC, we defend individuals across McAllen and the Rio Grande Valley who are facing drug-related charges. Whether you were accused of simple possession or a more serious felony, we’ll stand by your side and fight for your second chance.

We Don’t Judge. We Defend.

Drug arrests happen for many reasons — traffic stops, school searches, misidentification, or being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Regardless of how it happened, you deserve a legal team that treats you with respect and takes your case seriously.



We investigate every detail, challenge weak evidence, and work hard to reduce charges or get them dismissed when possible.

We Defend Clients Facing Charges for:

  • Possession of marijuana, cocaine, meth, heroin, or prescription drugs
  • Possession with intent to distribute
  • Drug trafficking or delivery
  • Manufacturing or cultivation
  • Prescription fraud or doctor shopping
  • Paraphernalia possession
  • Juvenile drug offenses
  • Drug charges at schools, checkpoints, or border crossings

Whether you’re charged in state or federal court, we’ll provide a strong and strategic defense.

What Are the Consequences of a Drug Conviction in Texas?

  • Jail or prison time
  • Heavy fines and court costs
  • Driver’s license suspension
  • Loss of financial aid or employment
  • Immigration consequences for non-citizens
  • A permanent criminal record

We help you understand the risks — and do everything we can to protect your record and future.

Emilio M.

Attorney Hitesh Chugani (and company), made my case feel like a soft breeze. They completely handled the workload in a very professional manner and granted me a very favorable outcome. Hitesh Chugani has now become my attorney of choice, and I will be recommending him to friends and family from here on out.

Outstanding! Not only he's efficient but also made sure to hire the right people for his team. They finished my case in a prompt manner. I would strongly recommend Attorney Chugani to anyone involved in a car accident. Thank you HKC Law Firm!

Maria C.

Mr Chugani is a very professional, trustworthy, caring and humble person. He is excellent at his job. Miss Mendoza, who was assigned to take my case, is a very nice, kind, professional and knowledgeable person. Not only did she find me a good physical therapist but she always followed up and help me through this process. I received the best medical treatment after my accident.


Miss Mendoza, Thank you for all your help. I highly recommend Mr. Chugani Law Firm.

Marlen M.

From the moment I walked in and met Attorney Chugani and his staff I knew I was at the right place. He is very knowledgeable of the laws both civil and criminal and he is very humble and kind. I felt confident he was representing me and I was kept up to speed with any updates as they came along. I always felt my case was priority!!! Paralegal Susan is amazing (attentive and professional!). Definitely recommending!!


Manny Leal

This is an OUTSTANDING individual. He'll move mountains for you. Very professional, humble, kind and determined. He's gone out of his way, even on his own vacation, just to help me with big favors, that other lawyers probably wouldn't do.


There will never be any hesitation or doubt when it comes to a game plan with Mr.Hitesh, he is an overachiever. Overall the best lawyer in the RGV.
