Located in Doylestown and Langhorne, Pennsylvania | Drug Charges Penalties Attorney
Penalties for drug charges are stringent at both state and federal levels. Many charges carry the threat of mandatory minimum sentences and fines. It is critical to have an experienced defense lawyer guide you through the process and seek the most favorable outcome if you have been charged with a drug crime.
At the Law Offices of Richard R. Fink, our attorney has many years of experience defending people accused of drug crimes in various state and federal courts. He is highly knowledgeable about the penalties for drug crimes and builds strong cases that seek to win an acquittal of the charges, or, if not possible, to minimize jail or prison time, or reduce fines. He does this by helping clients with substance abuse problems find appropriate treatment, ensuring that the police did not violate our clients' rights, and advocating for dismissal or acquittal based on weaknesses in the evidence presented by the state for clients facing drug charges.
