Drug Charges Defense Lawyer in Pittsburgh, PA

Drug Charges Defense Overview

Drug Charge Attorneys in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

At The Law Offices of David S. Shrager in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the vast majority of our drug charge defense clients are not hardened criminals. We usually see professionals caught with a small bag of marijuana at a concert, or college students with an ounce of marijuana on campus. Although this type of possession is not a particularly heinous crime, the fines and other penalties are significant, as is the impact that this type of crime conviction will have on your future. We are in the information age, and a drug charge in your past can be found through Internet research, haunting you for years to come.

If you have been charged with drug possession, possession with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia, or other dug charge in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, you need a drug charges defense attorney team with experience to defend you.

Defending Your Freedom and Your Good Name

Each of our lawyers have at least 30 years of legal experience, including experience in the district attorney’s office working as a prosecutor. We focus on criminal defense, including drug charges, and we know how to defend your freedom and your good name.

A few of the most important ways that we can help defend your freedom include:

• Focused criminal defense: We have a track record of successfully defending against criminal charges, including drug possession and distribution charges. We might be able to get the charges dismissed.
• Probation without verdict: For minor drug offense charges, we might be able to get probation without verdict. Under this program, you will be placed on a 6 month to one year probation. Upon completion of the probation, the original charges are dropped so that you will not have any criminal charges on your permanent record.
• Life circumstances: For the more serious drug charges, we can use something like drug addiction as a life circumstance for the court to take into consideration. This could mitigate the damage of a conviction by lessening the sentencing.
• Expungement: Even from the beginning of the case, we can work towards setting you up for a possible expungement in the future.
