More Than 40 Years of Criminal Defense Experience

If you have been charged with marijuana or crack/cocaine possession in Pennsylvania, there are serious potential consequences. Certain drug possession charges can result in strict mandatory minimum sentencing. Mandatory minimum means an automatic sentence with absolutely no discretion or leniency by a judge. Do not think that these rules do not apply to you. Seek experienced criminal defense representation as soon as possible.

Possession Charges for Crack, Cocaine, Marijuana, Heroin, Oxycontin and other prescription drugs

I provide aggressive criminal defense for my clients against possession charges for drugs such as cocaine, crack, marijuana and heroin. In Pennsylvania, the weight of drugs a person is charged with possession of has a profound effect on the length of jail time. Filler or binder is included in this weight. If a drug is contained inside of another object (i.e., marijuana brownie) the gross weight of the entire object is what determines a sentence. The district attorney can invoke a mandatory minimum sentence of three to six years for 3 ounces of crack cocaine.

Furthermore, drug charge convictions can affect your driver's license status. In Pennsylvania, if you are convicted of any drug charge, even if the charge was unrelated to your vehicle, you will lose your driver's license for one entire year.
