Fighting To Reduce Your Drug Penalties

The penalties for drug trafficking crimes can be very severe. And if the charges are federal in nature, the punishments increase. Our Philadelphia drug lawyers strive to eliminate your charges and reduce the penalties you may have, including steep fines, probation, prison time, and loss of your driver’s license.

These penalties will vary widely depending on the type and quantity of narcotics being trafficked, in addition to any aggravating or mitigating factors that could alter the severity of the crime as well. Penalties for trafficking Schedule 1 and 2 drugs (heroin, cocaine, etc.) in Philadelphia include:

• Between 2.0 grams and 10 grams – $5,000, two years in prison
  • With previous trafficking conviction – $10,000, three years in prison
• Between 10 grams and 100 grams – $15,000, three years in prison
  • With previous trafficking conviction – $30,000, five years in prison
• 100 grams or more – $25,000, five years in prison
  • With previous trafficking conviction – $50,000, seven years in prison

It is important to note that cases involving marijuana are handled differently. The defendant will typically face lesser penalties than those convicted of carrying similar amounts of illegal substances. For example, if a defendant is charged with trafficking “at least two pounds, but less than ten pounds” of marijuana, the penalty is one year in prison and a fine of $5,000. However, if there is a prior conviction, the penalties will double with a maximum sentence of two years and a fine of $10,000.

Our drug lawyers in Philadelphia will investigate your case thoroughly, finding the holes in the prosecution’s theories. We will quickly recover and inspect all the relevant evidence in your case to ensure that your rights are protected, and maximum justice is obtained.
