Drug Charges Attorney in Pittsburgh, PA

Drug Charges Overview

Western Pennsylvania Drug Charges Defense

A conviction on drug charges will give you a permanent criminal record and may also involve significant fines, harsh mandatory minimum prison sentences and other court-imposed consequences. A drug conviction may also make it difficult for you to find steady employment, or rent an apartment or obtain federal student loans. For these reasons and more, it is important to defend yourself and your rights by retaining an attorney knowledgeable about drug crime charges as soon as possible.

At The Law Offices of Gary E. Gerson, we have successfully defended individuals accused of a wide range of misdemeanor and felony drug charges in western Pennsylvania courts. As part of this practice, drug charges defense lawyer Gary Gerson handles both federal and state-level cases, as well as related charges such as identity theft, conspiracy, tax fraud and money laundering. With more than 20 years of experience and an equally long track record of success, Mr. Gerson is well equipped to provide quality defense in the most serious types of drug cases.

Seeking the Best Possible Results in Each Case

Whether you have been charged with simple possession (a misdemeanor), drug trafficking (a felony) or any other type of drug-related offense, we will conduct an exhaustive review of the facts to determine what your options are and what the best course of action is to take.
 
In some cases, there may be issues involving probable cause, the Fourth Amendment (illegal search and seizure) or possession (actual vs. constructive) that we can use to get the charges dropped or the case dismissed, to negotiate a favorable plea agreement or to win an outright acquittal at trial. In other cases, the better choice may be to simply focus on mitigating the potential damage.
 
Because many drug charges can be effectively resolved through diversion programs, it is important to have a defense lawyer who knows what the programs are, which ones might be available to you and how to lobby the DA for the best option in your case.
