Pittsburgh Criminal Attorney – Drug Trafficking in Pittsburgh & Pennsylvania
In Pittsburgh, Drug Trafficking is officially charged under Pennsylvania criminal statute 35 P.S. §780-113. A Pennsylvania criminal lawyer with the proper experience knows that this crime is graded as a felony even for a first time offense. If you are charged with Drug Trafficking I recommend that you contact a Pittsburgh defense lawyer immediately. Not only can this offense carry mandatory prison time, it will also wreak havoc on your Pennsylvania criminal records.
I have never sold drugs to anyone! Why am I being charged with Drug Trafficking?
Drug Trafficking in Pittsburgh is more commonly known as Possession With Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance. Experienced Pittsburgh and Allegheny County Defense Lawyers understand this law and the case law surrounding it. If you are charged, the DA is alleging that you engaged in the following:
- That you manufactured a controlled substance in Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania (i.e. growing Marijuana, cooking crack) or
- That you delivered a controlled substance to another person in Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania, or
- That you possessed a controlled substance and intended to deliver it to another person while in Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania.
There is a likelihood that you have been “overcharged” with felony drug dealing. Remember, the police are not your friends right now. They want to secure a conviction. If that means charging you with an unsupported crime to gain leverage, they will do it. However, with the proper knowhow, I am capable of defending overcharged people early in the Pittsburgh or Allegheny County Court proceedings.
