I’m Facing Drug Charges. What do I do now?Possession of marijuana, controlled substances, or drug paraphernalia is a serious offense!

In the State of Pennsylvania, it is illegal to possess or distribute controlled substances such as marijuana, cocaine, or methamphetamine and you can face serious consequences if you are convicted. Drug charges not only can get you jail time and fines, but they may also affect your career, especially if you hold or plan to get a professional license.

Hundreds Have Trusted Us. You Will Too.

My son was arrested on drug and possession charges. Justin got the charges dropped and I don’t think anyone else would have been able to.
