Drug Charges
Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, Drug Charges Attorney
A conviction on drug possession or intent-to-sell charges can have a very negative effect on your life, even if you do not receive jail time. A conviction will result in a permanent criminal record, which will stay with you for the rest of your life. If anyone conducts a background check on you—such as an employer, an insurance company, a lender, or a landlord—that conviction will come back to haunt you. In some cases, an experienced criminal defense lawyer can resolve drug charges in such a way that you will not end up with a criminal record.
Lawyer John M. Kenney has more than 27 years of experience resolving drug cases in Bucks County, Montgomery County, Philadelphia County, and Mercer County in Pennsylvania. The lawyer offers a free initial consultation to answer your questions.
The lawyer handles all types of drug cases, including:
- Possession of marijuana, crack cocaine, methamphetamines, heroin, ecstasy, or Oxycontyn.
- Possession with intent to sell a controlled substance, and
- Drug trafficking.
In many drug cases, there are legal issues with the search and seizure of drug evidence. Police often go beyond the boundaries of the law when they stop and search people. If your constitutional rights were violated by the search and seizure, the court remedy is to suppress the drug evidence. Suppression of drug evidence usually leads to a dismissal of charges. Even if police actions in your case were not illegal, they may be questionable enough to enable your lawyer to negotiate a favorable outcome.
If you've been arrested for drug possession or intent to sell in either Bucks County, or Montgomery County, Pennsylvania or Mercer County, New Jersey, hire a local attorney to represent you in court. A local attorney knows the judges and district attorneys and can negotiate more effectively on your behalf.
