Possession Of Cocaine In Pennsylvania

As a Schedule II drug, cocaine is considered a substance with a high abuse potential. This means that even possessing it is a misdemeanor. A possession arrest could lead to jail time up to a year and a fine of up to $5,000. A second offense could lead to three years in jail and a fine of up to $25,000.

Our experienced team can look at the exact circumstances surrounding your arrest and advise you regarding your defense options.

Other Cocaine Crimes

If the police find a higher amount of cocaine than what they would consider typical for personal use, prosecutors may bring possession with intent to deliver charges. Drug trafficking charges are considered more serious than possession charges.

This is a felony-level offense that may lead to 15 years in jail and a fine of up to $250,000. The penalties for a second offense double.

Experience That Makes A Difference

The effectiveness of any defense strategy depends on a wide variety of factors. We understand that each case is different. That’s why we will spend time investigating the facts of your case before developing a defense plan. You may have options based on police procedural mistakes or insufficient evidence.
