Pennsylvania Drug Charges Defense Attorney
Drug charges can result in serious penalties, including fines, repossession of property, and jail time. Whether you are under investigation or you have been arrested on drug charges, you need immediate counsel from an experienced defense lawyer. At Miller, Poole & Lord, LLP, our attorneys have over 20 years of experience in drug crimes defense.
Motions to suppress evidence
We will begin an immediate investigation into the facts of your case. Many drug charges are dismissed because of illegally obtained evidence. The United States and Pennsylvania Constitutions protect you against unlawful search and seizure. If you believe that drugs or paraphernalia were unlawfully seized, we can defend your rights in court.
- A police officer must have a reason stop you or pull you over
- A police officer cannot search your home or your vehicle, without probable cause, except under very specific circumstances
- A police officer must have a warrant or permission to enter and search your home
- Illegally obtained evidence cannot be used against you in court
Our drug crimes defense lawyers have handled state and federal drug charges including:
- Drug possession (possession with the intent to distribute and possession with the intent to deliver)
- Distribution
- Drug dealing while in possession of a firearm
- Corrupt organizations and R.I.C.O.
- Illegal drug paraphernalia possession
- Manufacturing and cultivation
- Prescription drug charges
Strategic drug crimes defense
When you are facing drug trafficking charges, the government must prove that you had the intent to distribute. Our attorneys can defend the charges that have been brought against you in cases where your intention was simply to use drugs, rather than distribute or deliver them.
Drug charges and police raids
If police raid a house and find drugs they may charge everyone present in the house. If you were at a house when a police raid occurred, and then you were charged with possession of drugs, or possession with the intent to distribute drugs, you need immediate legal assistance. Our attorneys will initiate an intensive investigation to assemble evidence for your defense.
