Pennsylvania Drug Charges Criminal Defense Lawyer
When state and federal law enforcement pick someone up for a drug crime, it's common to pile on charges. Simple possession becomes possession with intent to sell, sale becomes distribution, distribution becomes trafficking. The penalties for drug offenses can increase dramatically, based on the quantity of drugs involved and their intended use.

People don't hire us to cut a deal—they hire us to hear a "not guilty" verdict.
Our lawyers have handled hundreds of jury trials. We are experienced in spotting problems with the government's case and challenging these problems in court. Our goal is to keep illegally obtained evidence away from the jury.
If the evidence is admitted, the government still needs to be able to prove that the drugs were actually in your possession, under your control, or otherwise clearly belonging to you. This can be extremely difficult to prove, especially when drugs are found in an area where many people have access, or where the drugs found were not under your exclusive control.
The government or the Commonwealth has to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and the criminal defense lawyers at Patrick Artur & Associates will create doubt in order to prevent conviction.
It takes an attorney with confidence and knowledge to deal with the authorities when it comes to defending individuals against drug charges. If you have been accused or charged with such a crime, please contact Patrick Artur & Associates immediately.
You have rights. We protect them.
