Arrested for marijuana possession? Did the police find marijuana or another drug in your car or on your person? Penalties for drug crimes have become more serious in recent years, even though there is also a movement toward requiring treatment and rehabilitation instead of jail time for defendants convicted of drug crimes.

Northeast Philadelphia and Bucks County criminal defense attorney Stanton M. Lacks has handled thousands of drug cases in his 30 years as a criminal law attorney. A former deputy district attorney for Bucks County, Mr. Lacks uses the experience he gained as a prosecutor to provide aggressive and knowledgeable criminal defense for clients charged with all types of drug offenses.

The office of Stanton M. Lacks, Attorney at Law handles the defense of a variety of drug crimes:

• Drug possession
• Possession with intent to sell
• Sale of drugs
• Manufacture or cultivation of illegal drugs
• Possession or sale of illegal prescription drugs
• Possession of drug paraphernalia
• Dealing drugs in a school zone

We are often successful in helping our clients avoid jail time for a drug crimes charge. This is sometimes possible if the defendant agrees to enter a drug court or rehabilitation program, which is sometimes also called accelerated rehabilitative disposition (ARD).

We understand that people charged with drug crimes may need more help than criminal defense. We guide our clients into drug rehab programs and help our clients who were convicted of drug crimes with record expungement to clear their criminal record of drug crime convictions and avoid license suspensions.
