Woman Charged with Drug Trafficking Gets Probation

Our client was charged with a third-degree felony count of violation of the Uniform Firearms Act, an ungraded felony count of drug trafficking, an ungraded misdemeanor count of possession of drugs, and an ungraded misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia. If convicted, our client was looking at a mandatory sentence of 5 to 10 years in prison even though she had no prior criminal record.

Our client was scared that she’d serve years in prison and hired the Pittsburgh criminal defense lawyers at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC for help with her drug trafficking, possession of drugs, and other charges.

We looked at the facts and evidence in her case and started negotiations with the district attorney. Ultimately, our client was able to plead guilty to one county of possession of drugs. She was sentenced to probation without a verdict. As long as our client completes all conditions of her probation without any problems, she will be eligible to have her record expunged and the drug trafficking, possession of drugs, and other charges erased.

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.
