Meth Possession Defense Lawyers In Pennsylvania

Drug Lawyer Defending Allegations of Meth Possession in Bucks County, Lehigh County, Montgomery County and Philadelphia

Even if it was for your personal use and it is your first offense, conviction for possession of methamphetamine can land you in jail. For a first-time offender in possession of less than 5 grams, you receive a sentence of up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $5,000. For a second offense, the possible sentence is two years, and a third-time offender may receive three years in jail. Possession of 5 grams or more carries a mandatory minimum of three years.

If you have been arrested for meth possession, you need strong, effective and determined defense representation as soon as possible.
