Northeastern Pennsylvania Drug Crimes Defense Lawyer

Illegal drug activity is a prime target for law enforcement agents and prosecutors with mandatory sentencing laws overshadowing any prosecution. The classification of the offense and penalties you may face if convicted depend on many factors, including the type and quantity of drug, the purpose of the activity (manufacture, sale or use), and any prior criminal history.

Drug cases are often complicated and can sometimes drag on for months at a time, damaging your and your family’s reputation and impacting your professional and personal relationships. Drug crimes can be graded as low as a misdemeanor or as high as a felony. Whether you are charged with simple possession or possession with intent to deliver (PWID), you need to take immediate action to protect yourself and personal liberties.
