Drug Crimes in Berks County Carry Harsh Penalties
At McKenzie Law Firm, P.C., our drug crimes lawyer will explain the criminal and financial penalties you face. If convicted, the state will base the length of your sentence and the cost of your fines on the following factors:
- The type and amount of drugs involved in your arrest
- Your previous history or criminal arrests and convictions
- The guidelines of the state’s mandatory sentencing guidelines
Other factors might affect your sentence, including the outcome of an accident or the presence of a minor at the location where you were arrested. A long prison sentence could separate you from the people you love or cost you your job. Take these charges seriously and get started on building your defense.
The Benefits of a Plea Deal in Berk County
Sometimes, a plea agreement benefits both you and the court system. When we work to defend you and to limit the damage of conviction, we may negotiate a plea agreement. You can realize the following benefits of a plea agreement:
- Reduced charges
- Lighter sentences
- Lower fines
In some cases, the circumstances of your arrest can lead to an increase in the charges you face. We help you avoid these escalated charges and their accompanying enhanced sentences.
A Drug-Related Arrest or Conviction Can Change Your Life
An arrest can be stressful and frightening at the moment. According to 22 Pa. C.S.A. § 121.6, a drug conviction can also affect your future by preventing you from receiving financial assistance to further your education and career goals. A felony drug conviction can also:
- Bar you from certain types of employment
- Affect your right and ability to cast your vote
- Cause the loss of a professional license
- Prevent the legal possession of a firearm
Our client support team can work to mitigate these potential consequences. When we build your defense, our goal is to help you get the best outcome possible.
