The consequences of being convicted of a violation of Pennsylvania's drug laws can be serious. Conviction can lead to jail time in state or local prison, probation, child custody problems, treatment programs, large fines, the inability to hold or obtain a job, community service requirements, eviction from house or apartment, or deportation. Mandatory sentences usually apply. It is important to defend yourself and your rights by retaining an attorney knowledgeable about drug crime charges.

Defending People Charged in Drug Crimes Cases

At the Law Offices of Gary E. Gerson, we have successfully defended individuals accused of a wide range of misdemeanor and felony drug charges, including:

  • drug delivery or sales
  • possession of drug paraphernalia
  • possession of a controlled substance
    • Marijuana

Federal and State Defense on Drug-Related Charges

We defend people in state and federal courts against drug charges involving marijuana possession, cocaine, heroin and all other narcotics, ecstasy, methamphetamine, Oxycontin, Vicodin, powder or crack, and any controlled substance.

Criminal Forfeiture and Drug Charges

In both state and federal cases, authorities can seize any property or assets they believe were acquired with proceeds from illegal drug activity. When a criminal forfeiture is initiated, it can substantially compromise your ability to pay for your criminal defense. And, since it is a civil matter, it is conducted separately from your criminal trial. As a result, even if you are found "not guilty" of all drug charges, you can still lose property and assets if the forfeiture proceeding against you is successful.

At The Law Offices of Gary E. Gerson, we also fight criminal forfeiture proceedings that are often simply a tactic used by prosecutors to create obstacles for those being charged in drug cases.
