Drug Charges

Possession is not the same charge as delivery

People search three different cases under one phrase: simple possession, possession with intent to deliver, and delivery. Weight, how the drugs were packaged, cash, and messages are what police use when they write “intent.” A conspiracy charge is another search, usually when more than one person was in the car or the house.

The county and whether someone is in custody decide the referral faster than the story of who the drugs belonged to. Philadelphia, Delaware County, Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, and Berks each have their own list.

Searches around the evidence

Related searches are “search warrant Pennsylvania,” “car search during a traffic stop,” “can they charge me for someone else’s drugs,” and “parole and a new drug charge.” Send the statute if it is printed on the complaint.

Nothing on this page is a prediction of what a case is worth, and it is not legal advice. A message asks the desk to review the facts and refer them.

What to send

Possession, delivery, and possession-with-intent cases. The county and whether anyone is in custody decide who can take the file.

The useful first facts are the place, the date, the court if there is one, and what happened. Records can wait until a lawyer asks for them.

How a referral works

A message asks the desk to read the facts and refer them to a lawyer who handles this work. It does not hire that lawyer, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship.

The lawyer who receives the introduction decides whether to take the matter and talks with you about deadlines and fees.
