If you have been charged with manufacturing or delivering drugs, or possessing drugs with the intent to deliver, you may be facing a felony conviction and significant penalties. The penalties include mandatory minimum periods of incarceration, fines, court costs, and driver’s license suspensions. When determining the possible penalties, the court considers the following factors:
In certain cases, there are mandatory minimum penalties that the court must impose following a conviction. Our firm has a great deal of experience handling cases in which an individual has been charged with a drug offense. As a service to our website visitors, below we have provided a chart which outlines the instances in which a criminal charge involves a mandatory minimum sentence. If after reviewing the chart you have any questions or would like to discuss a specific case, you are welcome to call our office at 215-348-1776 to schedule a free consultation.
In addition to the above, if an individual is charged with a firearm offense in connection with a drug charge, a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in jail may also apply. Also, if an individual is charged with committing a drug offence in a school zone, an additional two year jail sentence may also apply.
If you have been charged with a drug offense, it is essential that you contact a knowledgeable and experienced attorney immediately. You may have certain constitutional rights that need to be asserted concerning improper search and seizures conducted by the police. In addition, there may be legal defenses that can be raised on your behalf to achieve a not guilty verdict.
