Drug Trafficking Lawyer in Waco, TX
A Former Police Officer Now Fighting for Your Defense
Drug trafficking is among the most serious felony charges prosecuted in McLennan County. A conviction can mean years in prison, a permanent record, and consequences that follow you long after the sentence ends. At Law Office of Kyle C. King, we defend individuals facing these charges in Waco and surrounding counties, including Falls, Hill, and Bosque.
What sets our approach apart starts before law school. Attorney Kyle King spent four years as a working police officer before becoming a criminal defense attorney. He knows how drug trafficking arrests are built from the initial traffic stop through evidence collection and charging decisions. That knowledge goes to work the moment we begin reviewing the State’s case against you.

Why Kyle King’s Background Matters for Your Defense
Most criminal defense attorneys learn about police procedure from the outside. Kyle learned it from the inside. He understands the protocols officers are required to follow when conducting a stop, executing a search, and documenting evidence. When those procedures aren’t followed correctly, there may be grounds to challenge the evidence before the case ever reaches trial.
Our firm practices criminal defense and nothing else. Since 2010, we’ve represented clients on charges ranging from drug crimes to violent offenses, and every client works directly with Kyle throughout the case. No rotating associates. No hand-offs to paralegals. You get direct access to the attorney handling your defense.
We’re honest about what you’re facing and straightforward about your options. Whether your case resolves through negotiation with McLennan County prosecutors or goes to trial, our goal is the best available outcome given the facts and the law.
How We Build a Drug Trafficking Defense
Every defense starts with the arrest. Kyle reviews the traffic stop that led to the search, the basis the officer used to justify it, and whether the search itself complied with Fourth Amendment requirements. If evidence was obtained through a stop or search that doesn’t hold up legally, we pursue suppression motions to exclude it. Evidence that can’t be used may not support a conviction.
Kyle’s years in law enforcement mean he reads police reports the way a former officer would. He knows what procedural documentation is supposed to look like, and when something is missing or inconsistent, he finds it. That perspective shapes how we approach the State’s evidence from the start.
Defense strategies vary based on the facts, but common angles include:
- Challenging the stop and search: Establishing that the officer lacked reasonable suspicion or probable cause
- Disputing intent: Arguing that the quantity was consistent with personal use, not distribution
- Attacking lab analysis: Questioning the accuracy of drug weight testing or the reliability of the lab
- Chain of custody: Identifying breaks in how evidence was handled, logged, or stored
Most trafficking cases in McLennan County resolve through negotiation rather than trial. A defense built on identified weaknesses in the State’s evidence strengthens our position at the negotiating table, and when a case needs to go to trial, we’re prepared to take it there.
