If you are charged with possession of illegal drugs or Simple Possession in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, or anywhere else in Pennsylvania, there will be many questions you need answers to.  What sort of jail time am I facing?  How will a Pittsburgh drug charge affect my employment or education?  What will appear in my Pennsylvania criminal records?  Who is a top Pennsylvania criminal defense attorney?

As a Pittsburgh Criminal Attorney I have represented many individuals for Simple Possession of illegal drugs including:

1. Marijuana
2. Cocaine
3. Crack Cocaine
4. Heroin
5. Ecstasy
6. Prescription Pills

Although some of these drugs (Marijuana) may not seem as serious as the others, an experienced drug crimes attorney knows that they are all misdemeanors, and can remain on your criminal record forever if not handled properly from the start.

Contact Pittsburgh Criminal Attorney Michael V. Worgul with questions now at (412) 475-9217 or -1-855-DUI-CRIM.

If convicted of Marijuana possession in Allegheny County, or any other illegal drug, you will also face a mandatory license suspension through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).  The length of the Pennsylvania license suspension depends as follows:

1. 1^st Drug Possession Offense – six month suspension.
2. 2^nd Drug Possession Offense – one year suspension.
3. 3^rd+ Drug Possession Offense – tow year suspension.

Therefore, you will want to contact an Allegheny County criminal lawyer as soon as possible to avoid further suspensions.

Finally, as stated above, even Marijuana attorneys in Pittsburgh recognize that all drug offenses (not just Cocaine and Heroin) are serious and can affect your employment or educational prospects.  If you are applying for a job you will want to make sure that there is no record of former Pittsburgh drug arrest to be bound.  Likewise, if you are a student at a local University such as Pitt, Duquesne, or Carnegie Mellon, and you will be applying to law school, medical school, or any other professional organization, you should certainly hire a drug crime attorney to make sure the records can and will be expunged.

I am Pittsburgh Criminal Attorney Michael V. Worgul and I have extensive experience handling drug cases in Allegheny County and Pennsylvania.  I will aggressively fight to win your Pittsburgh criminal drug charges at trial, however, if your case requires, I am very familiar with alternative solutions to trial that will result in the expungement or reduction of your charges.

With a focus on thorough preparation, superior client service and dedicated representation, I help families and individuals solve a wide range of DUI and criminal litigation issues.

I will respond to your email submission as promptly as possible. I ask that you consider calling me directly at 1-412-475-9217 or toll free at 1-855-DUI-CRIM for a free initial consultation to discuss your case.  You will also find out how our practice can be put to work for you.

I look forward to listening to the circumstances of your case and discussing all available options under the law.

Sincerely,

Michael V. Worgul
