Have you or someone you love been arrested for drug possession? Depending on the charge and circumstances, there may be a wide range of alternatives available.

Drug Defense Cases

I have handled drug cases where there were several kilos of drugs. I have also defended college students who were caught with a single joint in their back pocket. I handle drug cases that involve

• Drug possession
• Drug trafficking or Possession with the Intent to Deliver
• Marijuana
• Cocaine
• Heroin
• Methamphetamine
• Ecstasy
• Fraudulent prescriptions, including Oxycontin, Percocet, and Xanax

Search and Seizure

The search is the lynchpin in every drug defense case. Whether the police searched your car, your home, or your person, they must do so in accordance with constitutional law. I work hard to stay on the cutting edge of search and seizure law. If the arrest involves a recorded conversation, I make sure that the police follow the Pennsylvania Wiretap Law. I make sure that the authorities do not overstep their bounds. I zealously protect your rights.
