Drug Crimes

Lancaster County Drug Crimes

Drug crime cases often lie in a grey area between the defendant's 4th amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, and unwarranted police intrusion. Frequently, search and seizure questions become part of a strong defense of people accused of possession or trafficking of prohibited substances such as heroin, crack, ecstasy, or marijuana.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has strict laws mandating harsh penalties (2 or more in state prison) for possession with intent to deliver or delivery of illegal drugs within 1000 feet of a school zone.

Trafficking or possession charges in school zones call for aggressive defense by an experienced criminal defense attorney.
