What Charges Could You Face In Pennsylvania?

There are a wide range of potential drug charges under Pennsylvania law, such as:

  • Misdemeanor drug possession, often used with first offenses
  • Felony drug possession for specific substances or subsequent offenses
  • Possession with intent to deliver
  • Illegal drug purchases from someone who is not authorized to sell
  • Drug cultivation and manufacturing
  • Drug transportation or distribution, which may occur across state lines
  • Selling or distributing illegal substances to a minor

These activities can also pose a risk of additional charges or aggravating factors. For instance, you could face weapons charges if you were discovered with illegal substances and a firearm simultaneously. We will build your defense based on the specific charges you are facing and the details of your arrest.

What Issues Impact Your Drug Case?

It depends on the specifics of your unique case. Maybe you believe the police violated your rights (illegal search and seizure, etc.), which could exclude evidence from the case. Perhaps you believe that the charges do not fit the crime, such as if you have been charged with intent to distribute but you only had banned substances for personal use. Our team will consider the details carefully and help you explore your legal defense options.
