When facing any type of drug charge, an individual should immediately contact an experienced criminal defense attorney. At the Law Offices of Richard R. Fink, our attorney has many years of experience, including seven years as the Bucks County Chief Public Defender.
During his years practicing criminal law, he has seen increased enforcement and wildly enhanced penalties for drug crimes. Because he knows the consequences of conviction, he is dedicated to seeking alternative penalties, reduced charges and addiction treatment to protect our clients.
Attorney Fink handles all types of drug charges, from possession of small quantities of marijuana to possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Other charges include:
The penalties for drug charges are generally related to the amount of the drug involved. There are mandatory minimums that include prison and jail sentences, fines and driver’s license penalties for relatively small amounts of drugs such as marijuana. It is important to contest drug charges; the stakes are high.
Our Bucks County criminal attorney will seek treatment if our client has a substance abuse problem and helps client seek relief through the diversion of the drug charges. He will investigate the case, making sure that our client’s rights were not violated by an illegal search and seizure, undercover informant, drug-sniffing dog or traffic stop. He explores the pros and cons of cooperating with law enforcement in return for reduced penalties. He interviews witnesses to determine the degree to which their testimony will help or damage our client.
