Norristown Drug Possession Defense Attorney
- Were you arrested for drug possession in the Norristown area?
- Was your son or daughter charged with possession of drug paraphernalia?
If you are facing simple possession charges, you may be tempted to plead guilty and put the whole incident behind you — even if the police lacked authority for the search that allegedly turned up the drugs or drug paraphernalia.
Drug possession is a criminal offense and will likely remain on your record for the rest of your life. In Pennsylvania, conviction of a drug-related crime can result in loss of your driver's license. Don't plead guilty without understanding your rights and exploring your options for defense.
Call 610-239-8870 or contact me today for a free and completely confidential consultation to discuss your drug charges. I am criminal lawyer Basil D. Beck and I focus on providing you with quality and accessible criminal defense legal services.
While I can't guarantee any specific outcome in your criminal case, I can guarantee that I work hard to help you successfully resolve simple possession charges. If you are a minor charged with drug possession or possession of drug paraphernalia, I can help you navigate the juvenile criminal justice system and defend you against juvenile offenses.
Challenging Search Warrants in Drug Possession Cases
At the Law Office of Basil D. Beck, I aggressively defend your rights in a simple possession or other drug case by putting the police and investigators on the defensive.
I challenge the validity of search warrants and investigate how warrants are presented to the court to justify their issuance. I challenge whether the police had probable cause to "knock and talk" when they enter houses and apartments, stop and search cars, and perform personal searches on the street.
If you are served with a search warrant, I will drive and meet you at your home or apartment to ensure police do not overstep the limits of a search warrant. In cases involving car stops and probable cause, I carefully review whether or not police had reasonable suspicion to pull you over in the first place. In highway stops, I identify profiling techniques and improper police procedure in conducting car searches.
