Drug laws in Philadelphia can lead to severe penalties and punishment and should always be taken seriously. On your own, reducing the potential damages of a drug arrest could be challenging. Even understanding the variables that contribute to potential sentence lengths can be difficult without legal assistance. According to 18 Pa. C.S.A. §7508, the severity of a drug-related conviction might depend on:
Depending on these factors, you could potentially face tens of thousands of dollars in fines and lengthy sentences, which can both cause severe damage to your career and finances. Our team can work hard to delve into the details of your arrest and identify weak points to use in your defense.
While a drug crime conviction can lead to fines and imprisonment, it can also have many other detrimental effects. For example, it could cost you your job or career now and may also prevent you from obtaining employment in the future. If you have higher education goals, you may forfeit your ability to obtain student aid and other government financing. Certain housing options may also be unavailable for you.
A drug-related arrest and conviction not only affects you, but it also impacts the people you love. It carries the possibility of forced separation due to imprisonment. As such, it may leave your family to cope with community negativity, loss of financial support, and a change in the way the household runs without your familial contributions. Drug charges could also affect your relationship with your family and friends overall.
