Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney for Drug Charges
Pennsylvania takes drug crimes seriously. If you have been charged, it is critical to work with an experienced drug-defense attorney who can prepare a serious defense. At my Glenside, Pennsylvania, law firm, I — Michael F. Dunn, Attorney at Law — use nearly 30 years of experience to help my clients achieve the best possible results.
I represent people accused of drug offenses related to a wide range of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, crack, methamphetamine, heroin or prescription narcotics. Working closely with them every step of the way, I can help develop a strong defense strategy designed to achieve positive results — regardless of your current situation:
- Drug possession: I represent people charged with possession of all different types of drugs, from marijuana possession to possession of pharmaceuticals without a prescription.
- Drug sale: If you have been charged with a crime related to the sale of drugs, you face potentially harsh consequences. Working with an experienced drug-defense attorney is important.
- Intent to deliver drugs: People often do not realize that they can be charged with intent to deliver drugs in situations — like passing a joint at a concert — where they give drugs to another instead of selling them, as well as where an actual sale has occurred.
- Search and seizure: Will I go to jail? Drug offense cases often rely heavily on evidence of the quantity of drugs involved. For this reason, your lawyer's knowledge of criminal procedure becomes critical. Successfully challenging an illegal search and seizure can mean the difference between a long jail sentence and your freedom.
- Drug offense penalties: Will I go to jail? This is one of the most common questions I hear from people facing drug charges. The truth is that it can be hard to predict the outcome of your case — sentences often depend on your prior criminal record, the charges and the amount of drugs allegedly involved and the circumstances of your arrest.
If you have been accused of a crime, taking fast action is the best way to protect your rights and your freedom. Contact me — Michael F. Dunn — by calling 215-392-4361 or by completing my online contact form. Initial consultations are free and confidential.
