No Jail For A 26-Year-Old Charged With Possession Of Drug Paraphernalia

The attorneys at the Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys have extensive experience with criminal drug cases and lately worked with a 26-year-old man in Whitehall, PA charged with drug paraphernalia possession, while he was on probation for another infraction. Drug charges can vary widely and possession of drug paraphernalia carries a possible penalty of 30-days in jail, but the probation violation could have increased this sentence.

With a clear understanding of the drug laws, attorney Matthew Ness represented his client and during the preliminary hearing successfully negotiated for a lesser charge of disorderly conduct, which included a $200 fine, but no time in jail and would not constitute a probation violation. This was a great result for our client, who after paying the fine was free to move past this situation.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
