DRUG CRIMES

IF CHARGED WITH A DRUG OFFENSE YOU FACE JAIL TIME AND A LOSS OF YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE

If you are charged with a Drug Offense in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, you face potential jail time and a loss of your driver's license. If you are charged with A Felony Drug Offense (Delivery or Poss. with Intent to Deliver) you face potential mandatory jail time. If you are charged with A Felony Drug Offense and a Firearms Offense, you possibly face a mandatory five years in jail.

Possession with Intent to Deliver is a unique crime. Often the police charge individuals with this serious crime based on nothing more than their own speculation that the person was going to deliver the drugs to an unspecified person at some unspecified time. Pittsburgh Criminal Defense Attorney Robert E. Mielnicki has been cross examining police officers for over 20 years about their opinions that his clients possessed drugs with an intent to deliver them. He has folders of information from government websites and publications and books from addiction specialists as to the quantity of drugs a person addicted to such can expect to consume on a daily basis. He is often surprised that upon cross examining police officers, who chose to charge his clients with intent to deliver, that the officer has very little knowledge at all about how much drugs an addict can consume on a daily basis, yet he has chosen to charge the intent to deliver based upon his client possessing an amount that could be consumed in a day or two.

YOU MAY HAVE BEEN THE VICTIM OF AN ILLEGAL SEARCH

If you are charged with a Drug Offense, you may have been the victim of an illegal search or seizure. If you have, this can result in the suppression of evidence and a dismissal of your charges. Your home may have been entered based upon a bad warrant or no warrant at all where one should have been secured. If your vehicle was stopped, it may have been stopped illegally and your detention may have been improper for what started out as a routine traffic stop. Pittsburgh Criminal Defense Attorney Robert E. Mielnicki knows the law. Some of his notable appeals include:

• United States v. Zimmerman, 277 F.3d 426 (3rd Cir. 2002)
