Drug Crime Laws in Pennsylvania

Joseph Paletta defends you against state and federal drug crime charges

The penalties for drug possession can be a sentence of up to one year and a $5,000 fine.  Where the charge involves possession of a large quantity of a drug, you can be charged with intent to distribute, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of one to eight years in state prison.

Joseph Paletta comes to your aid if you are charged with these drug crimes:

• Drug possession
• Intent to manufacture/distribute
• Felony possession with intent to manufacture/distribute
• Drug diversion and drug crimes involving healthcare professionals
• Delivery
• Facilitation by use of a phone
• Drug trafficking, smuggling, and conspiracy
• Drug manufacturing, cultivation of marijuana, possession of ephedrine, or other chemicals for manufacturing
• Illegal or prescription drugs
• Federal drug crimes
• Other drug crimes with related charges involving domestic abuse, violence, or firearms.

Even if the evidence against you is persuasive and a conviction is unavoidable, Joseph Paletta can help minimize your sentence and penalties.
