Pittsburgh Felony Drug Charges Attorney

If you have been arrested for a drug crime and face felony charges, waiting to hire an attorney means that you'll probably be facing felony jail time, too.

Contact The Law Offices of Gary E. Gerson for a serious defense of your rights.

At the Law Offices of Gary E. Gerson, we vigorously defend people against a wide range of state and federal felony charges involving drugs. Our attorney, Gary E. Gerson, has been representing clients in drug cases for more than 20 years and has successfully defended individuals accused of a wide range of felony drug charges, including:

• Possession with intent to deliver
• Possession of a controlled substance
• Drug sales
• Manufacturing of a controlled substance, such as operating a meth lab
• Cultivation of drugs
• Importing, distributing, or trafficking in controlled substances
• Drug-related conspiracy charges
• Federal drug charges

The consequences of a felony conviction for violating Pennsylvania or federal drug laws are serious. Many of these charges carry mandatory minimum sentences over which judges have no discretion. This can mean significant jail time in a local, state or federal prison regardless of any mitigating circumstances. It can also mean probation, child custody problems, treatment programs, large fines, an inability to hold or obtain a job, community service requirements, eviction from house or apartment, denied loan requests, and/or deportation.

Whether your case involves cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, methamphetamine, or OxyContin, Gary Gerson carefully examines the police records to determine whether any illegal search and seizure, racial profiling, or other types of police misconduct have occurred. If we are able to establish any of those things, we may be able to get key pieces of the prosecution's evidence excluded at the suppression hearing. If a dismissal or acquittal is not likely in your case, Mr. Gerson will then put his trial-tested reputation and the credibility he has established with prosecutors in the area to work on your behalf to negotiate a more favorable outcome to the case.
