Drug Charges

State College Drug Charges Attorneys

Responding to public outcry and a proliferation of drugs throughout all levels of society, legislators and law enforcement have taken a “get tough” policy in regard to drugs. Those charged with felony drug possession, trafficking, or narcotics sales now face lengthy prison sentences and heavy fines if convicted. For over 14 years, Masorti & Sullivan has aggressively defended the rights of the accused in cases involving drug smuggling, manufacturing, and possession. Working with a staff of attorneys, and forensic experts when needed, we interview witnesses, meticulously review police procedures, and challenge the prosecution’s case on the basis of facts and evidence.

Protecting Your Rights

Narcotics cases almost always involve searches of cars, homes, and one’s personal effects. If police fail to execute a search warrant properly, search your car without probable cause, or fail to read you your rights after you’ve been placed in custody, the evidence they collect may be inadmissible in court.

As your criminal defense lawyers, we inspect every minute detail involved in our client’s arrest and case. Vigorously defending state and federal constitutional rights, we promptly motion the court to dismiss any case where evidence is improperly collected or Constitutional rights violated.

Pursuing the Best Outcome

In cases where guilt is not in question, our drug defense lawyers work with prosecutors and the court in exploring alternatives to lengthy prison sentences. Depending on a client’s criminal history, we work tirelessly to convince the court to reduce the charges against him or her by taking into account his or her good prior history, standing in the community, or other facts that may persuade the court towards leniency.

For first time, non-violent offenders, our office asks that client be considered for the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program that allows them to avoid jail while receiving the help they need to mend their lives.
