Chester County School Zone Violation Attorneys  

Are you facing criminal charges for drug delivery or trafficking near a school zone in or around Chester County PA?  Then speak to a Chester County Criminal Lawyer to defend your charges or arrest for possession of paraphernalia such as a pot pipe, marijuana pipe, syringes, rolling a school zone violation.  

According to Pennsylvania law, anyone convicted of delivering an illegal drug within 1,000 feet of a school zone is subject to a two-year mandatory minimum prison sentence.  Drug delivery is not simply the selling of a controlled substance but can also be the transfer of an illegal drug from one person to another. It does not necessarily involve a drug sale. The simple sharing of marijuana or “weed” between friends, a common scenario among college students, can be charged as a  drug delivery and subject to a school zone violation. If this offense occurs within a school zone, the alleged offender faces a possible two-year prison sentence. 

Committed to Helping You Avoid the Worst Possible Scenario  

While there are no guarantees in criminal defense law, understanding your rights and the legal options available to you can improve your chances when defending yourself from charges of drug paraphernalia. As a criminal defense attorney with years of experience in our criminal justice system, I understand how to negotiate with the court, how to identify questionable police conduct and suspicious testimony, and prevent clients from making certain kinds of mistakes. 

When evidence and guilt is not in question, extenuating circumstances may convince the court to either reduce the charges against you or the sentence you face. As your Drug School Zone Violation lawyer, I work with prosecutors in exploring alternative sentencing options when a plea of "guilty" may be in your best interest. In certain cases where provocation, a medical condition, or alcohol is involved, it may be possible to avoid jail or a heavy fine in exchange for a promise to get counseling, provide community service, and agree to probation.
