Types of Drug Charges Our Law Firm Handles
Because the state of Pennsylvania takes drug crimes seriously, defending yourself can be difficult. Our criminal defense law firm can help you fight for your reputation and freedom. We fight hard for clients facing the following drug-related crimes:
- Trafficking: Drug trafficking is usually the large-scale movement of illegal or controlled substances within an organized network of individuals for the purpose of selling the them. This criminal charge usually carries more severe penalties.
- Distribution: Distribution, on the other hand, is the delivery or transfer of illegal controlled substances in smaller quantities, typically to another person.
- Possession: Possession is having an illegal or controlled substance on your person, in your car, or in your home.
- Manufacturing: Manufacturing is the growth, process, or production of any illegal or controlled substances. This charge could also include other related criminal charges, and the penalties can be harsh since it is seen as contributing to the supply of the illegal or controlled substance.
- Conspiracy to traffic: Conspiracy to traffic is the agreement between two or more parties to traffic illegal or controlled substances. Trafficking does not need to occur for someone to be charged with this crime.
- Possession with intent: Possession with intent is the handling of an illegal or controlled substance in a greater quantity than for personal consumption with the intent to sell the substance to another party.
The penalties for each of these charges vary based on the type of illegal or controlled substance and the amount.
We support you through charges involving marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, and heroin. If you or someone you love is up against any of these charges, we help you prove your innocence, build a compelling criminal defense strategy, or negotiate a favorable outcome.
How We Build Your Defense Strategy
When we start working on your defense plan, we will ask questions about the circumstances that led to your arrest. We take protecting our clients seriously, and you can rest assured that everything you tell us is strictly confidential. We look for details like any rights violations. For example, if the police:
- Did not inform you of your Miranda Warning rights
- Questioned you after you requested your criminal defense attorney
- Mistook you for another person
- Illegally searched you or your property
After hearing your side of the story, our law office will also carefully and thoroughly examine the state’s evidence and witness list. We work hard to uncover any detail of your case that will give us the information we can use to defend you. We will keep you up to date on court appearances to avoid bench warrants. We also explain the importance of probable cause in your arrest and will fight for a dismissal of the charges you face if your arrest lacked probable cause.
