Having a Montgomery County criminal defense lawyer offers reassurance while you face allegations, arrest, or charges. Pennsylvania has strict rules about the possession, manufacturing, and trafficking of many types of drugs. Our drug crimes lawyer understands your case’s applicable laws and how to develop a strong defense. We’re ready to take on your fight today.
Our Pottstown Drug Crimes Attorneys Handle a Wide Range of Drug Crime Cases
At McKenzie Law Firm, P.C., our team represents clients arrested for offenses based on the state’s expansive drug laws. We can protect your rights, help you understand your case, and develop a strong defense strategy based on the allegations or charges you face.
We advocate for people facing convictions for:
- Drug possession: Drug possession is often the least serious of the drug crimes we handle. It usually means the police believe you had a relatively small amount of an illegal drug in your possession. Sometimes, we fight to reduce our clients’ charges to drug possession from a more serious offense.
- Possession with intent: If you had a large amount of a drug, you might face charges of possession with intent to deliver. The prosecutor would charge you with this crime, even if the substances were for personal use.
- Delivery of drugs: Delivery of drugs is also known as distribution, trafficking, or selling. This is a crime even when the drug is legal, such as prescription medication, if you do not have the proper license to dispense the drug.
- Manufacturing of drugs: Growing, making, or manufacturing drugs is illegal under most circumstances in Pennsylvania.
We understand how these cases work with most types of drugs. We have experienced team members dealing with charges based on marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, and heroin. We also handle cases focused on prescription drugs.

Your Lawyer Protects You From the Penalties of Drug Crimes in Pottstown
Without understanding the details of your alleged crime and arrest, we can’t outline what specific penalties you could face if convicted. There are many factors that determine the potential severity of a conviction, and these elements include:
- The quantity in your possession, which determines if you will face drug possession penalties or possibly distribution charges
- Whether the prosecutors believe you intended to sell the drugs
- Whether you are accused of growing or cultivating drugs
- Where the police arrested you, including whether you were near a school or crossed state lines
- If you have any prior drug crime convictions
You are innocent until proven guilty. No matter what you’re up against, we’re prepared to build a solid case file that advocates for your freedom.
