No Jail Time for a Pittsburgh Woman with Multiple Felony Drug Charges

In a recent undercover sting operation, a 21-year-old woman was accused of shipping and receiving marijuana from California to Pittsburgh. She received several felony drug charges, including felony communication, felony possession, felony intent to distribute, felony intent to deliver, and felony conspiracy, as well as two misdemeanor counts of possession. Felony drug charges vary widely, but they are serious no matter the conviction penalties. The woman was rightly concerned and reached out to Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC because we have been working for over a decade, handling drug charges from minor personal possession of marijuana charges up through felony cultivation charges.

With a clear understanding of the drug laws, criminal defense attorney Samir Sarna began working on her behalf. Our client had no previous criminal history and we used this fact to successfully negotiate the withdrawal of many of the charges. Ultimately, we worked out a plea agreement for a 24-month probation period for felony conspiracy and intent to deliver. Keeping our client out of jail was a triumph considering the litany of charges levied against her.

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.
