Possession with Intent to Deliver or Drug Delivery Charges in York and Adams County: The "Businessman" v. Drug Addict/Abuser Effect
If you have been charged with Possession with Intent to Deliver or Drug Delivery, you may feel as though you have been virtually de-humanized, if not villainized, as you have been named as a Defendant and identified by one or more case tracking numbers. Moreover, the prosecution has essentially labeled you a "drug dealer." This has a stigmatizing effect both within and outside the criminal justice system.
Whether you have been charged in York or
Adams County, Pennsylvania, or
any other county throughout the Commonwealth, the final result and strategy to obtain that result can be dictated by a number of factors. One of those factors is the basis for the sale in the first place -- was the alleged sale purely a "business" transaction or was it fueled by a desire to feed your own addiction or abuse? The basis can impact the strategy for reversing the stigmatizing effect of the drug charges and the overall re-humanization process.
Regardless of what category your case may fall in, we can develop a strategy to systematically work towards putting you in a better position than you currently find yourself. This strategy will be personalized and based on all the circumstances you bring to the table. In addition to looking at your personal background so that we better understand you, we will also develop a detailed assessment of your case to determine what defenses or search and seizure issues may be available to you.
Moreover, if your drug charges are a product of an underlying issue with drug abuse or addiction, it is important that we identify the source of abuse and relevant background at the inception of your case. This will allow us to work on developing a treatment-oriented approach in an effort to substantially mitigate the criminal consequences you are facing, as well as put you in a positive position to continue your life once your case ends.
Whether you have been charged with a drug transaction as a result of a business deal gone bad or a desire to fuel a drug addiction, we can help. For a free initial phone consultation to discuss your case, contact
