HOW TO FIGHT DRUG CHARGES (PWID) IN PENNSYLVANIA

PHILADELPHIA | DELAWARE COUNTY | MONTGOMERY COUNTY | BUCKS COUNTY | CHESTER COUNTY

Drug dependency, decriminalization of cannabis, and the opioid epidemic are just a few reasons why drug laws in Pennsylvania are so complicated and, in many cases, so harsh. Just fighting a simple charge for possession of paraphernalia can seem like walking through a minefield.

“Possession with Intent to Deliver” (PWID) and “Possession with Intent” (PWI) charges are even scarier because, for all intents and purposes, the allegation is that you or your loved one is not a drug user but rather a drug dealer. The penalties for being convicted of drug dealing in Pennsylvania include long prison sentences, fines, and potential forfeiture of real property, personal property, and/or cash funds.

What should I do if my loved one or I am charged with a drug crime in Pennsylvania? If you or your loved one has been accused of a drug crime and you would like to get out ahead of it, call 215-650-6500 to discuss your options or get a second opinion from attorney Stephen Stewart. Prosecutors often seek high bails for individuals accused of drug crimes. They make it hard for family and friends to post bail by making loved ones prove that the funds are not a product of the alleged drug operation.

What are the possible sentences if convicted of drug crimes in Pennsylvania? The penalties are wide-ranging because there are so many different ways to violate the law in Pennsylvania. However, some charges do carry lengthy prison sentences for crimes that the average person might not consider so serious. The laws can be harsh to someone who believes he or she committed a “victimless” crime. Call attorney Stephen Stewart at 215-650-6500 to discuss your particular situation.

What if my loved one or I already have an attorney? If you or your loved one has already had a court date in a drug case, a public defender, a court-appointed attorney, or another privately retained attorney will be on the case. Attorney Stephen Stewart can offer a second opinion and potentially an alternative approach to fighting the charges if you are unhappy with your current representation.

  I called Mr. Stephen Stewart's office for advice on how to handle a legal matter.  I completed a brief intake over the phone with an office coordinator and was immediately transferred to Mr. Stewart.  I found Mr. Stewart to be very knowledgeable about the law and the criminal process in general.  I feel as though he answered my questions honestly and gave me good advice from a human perspective.  Thank you kindly, Mr. Stewart.

  Last September 2021 my sister contacted Mr. Stewart’s office and within hours he was personally returning our phone call. From that initial conversation I knew he was the one that could help my husband fight this case! We were right! These pass 8 months Mr. Stewart was nothing short of AMAZING! He was always very professional, honest, respectable, well organized, knowledgeable, clean, very informative, and what I liked the most about him very straightforward. He never kept you in the dark or trying to guess the next steps. Weather it was good or bad news he was always honest and told you upfront. No matter how busy he may have gotten, we NEVER felt like my husband’s case was less important or he just simply didn’t care. We can not thank Mr. Stewart enough for his hard work, dedication, and fight he put up for my husband’s case, without him I know we wouldn’t have gotten through this successfully as we did! So if you are trying to find a GREAT Criminal Defensive lawyer, you found your GUY!

  I hired attorney Stephen Stewart to represent me in negotiating a business deal for use of one of my Spotify playlists. We were able to strike a deal for $50,000 for my services. I never thought I'd get that much. He wrote the contract and helped me go back and forth with the other side to negotiate the terms. I went back to Stephen for legal advice on employment law when I was changing jobs. He was great for that also. Very knowledgeable and very easy to work with.

  Man what can I say; I was on the run for 6 years from a drug case and had 2 other open cases as well and I gave Mr Stewart a call and it had been a burden lifted from my shoulders since! He was straight forward and honest from the jump...I'd recommend him 10 out of 10 times
