Marijuana Possession and Cultivation Defense
Philadelphia Drug Crimes Defense Lawyer
One of the most significant problems with the way police and federal drug enforcement agencies handle drug cases is their tendency to overcharge a case.
- Possessing a given amount of marijuana does not mean you intend to sell marijuana.
- Possessing marijuana seeds that do not have growing stems doesn't warrant a felony charge for running a marijuana hydroponics operation.
- It's questionable whether having a high energy bill really provides probable cause to get a warrant to search your property.
This tendency for law enforcement to take this too far is one of the critical areas that an experienced defense lawyer will investigate.
If you're facing criminal charges for possession, sale, or cultivation of marijuana or any other drug, contact the Philadelphia defense attorneys at the law office of Patrick Artur & Associates.

Thorough Investigation can suppress so-called "Evidence"
The feds' case against you is only as good as the evidence and eyewitness testimony they've gathered. If the evidence against you was gathered illegally because they did not have a warrant to search or they violated the search warrant, any evidence they obtain cannot be presented in court. We don't allow our clients to suffer from illegal search and seizure tactics by the police.
When you need an aggressive defense for cultivation of cannabis or sale of marijuana, contact the Pennsylvania defense attorneys at Patrick Artur & Associates.
