Southeast Pennsylvania
Drug Possession Defense Lawyers
Did the officers who arrested you for drug possession have probable cause to stop and search you? Did they rely on information provided by less-than-credible informants to obtain their warrants? Was the search itself legally conducted? Were the drugs actually on your person or just nearby?
At Ross & Schnarrs, we have made a name for ourselves in southeast Pennsylvania by being ready to make the state meet its burden of proof in drug possession cases, by being willing to go the distance for our clients, and by being determined to obtain favorable results.
Take the Deal or Take Your Chances With an Attorney?
You've been arrested and charged with drug possession. Now, the police or prosecutor's office is asking you to "help" yourself by helping them catch your dealers. They may have taken a friendly approach and made promises about dropping or reducing the charges against you. They may have tried to bully you into cooperating by threatening to charge you with possession with intent to sell instead. Under either scenario, they have probably not mentioned the fact that you might want to talk to a lawyer about this proposition first.
The truth is, police and prosecutors usually have no one's best interests in mind other than their own and they will not protect you from the real world consequences you can suffer if anyone finds out you "snitched." In some drug cases, the benefits of cooperation might be worth it but you should not assume that until you've discussed your situation with a lawyer.
Standing Strong in Your Defense
If you are not facing a mandatory minimum sentence on the possession charge, our lawyers can use their knowledge of the system and the credibility they've established with law enforcement authorities and prosecutors in this area to pursue positive results without having to expose you to the risk of a trial.
When that isn't possible and a trial is called for, rest assured that we will not hesitate to aggressively fight for your freedom in court.
