Lawyer Handling Possession and Paraphernalia Defense Cases in Greensburg and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

An innocent Saturday night joyride with friends can turn into a nightmare very quickly if someone you are riding with has chosen to bring their drugs and/or paraphernalia into the car.  Even people who carefully avoid a lifestyle of drug use can become susceptible to legal penalties if caught with drugs concealed in or on their personal property, even when it belongs to another person.  The criminal offense of possessing drugs or paraphernalia can occur when a person has products, materials, or equipment that may be used for creating, consuming, or concealing controlled illegal substances like meth (methamphetamines), heroin, marijuana, cocaine, or certain over-the-counter medications and prescription medications that could be abused when not properly prescribed or administered by  a medical professional.

Severity of Possession and Paraphernalia Offenses

Arrest for possession and paraphernalia may qualify as either a misdemeanor or felony drug offense.  The severity of the offense and punishment typically depends upon several different factors, such as a person's prior drug crime convictions and criminal background, if the person possesses an illegal controlled substance, type of drug, amount of drug, or if the person possesses dealer paraphernalia or user paraphernalia.  If convicted of this type of offense, the legal penalties can be serious.  One may be faced with heavy fines, time in jail, and possible long hours of mandatory community service.  An attorney with Bompiani Law Group, LLC may be able to help you avoid such punishments by providing you with the solid legal representation you need to fight your charges.
