Drug/Narcotic Charges

Effective Criminal Defense in State and Federal Court

The clients we see at DeRiso & DeRiso, Attorneys at Law range across the entire spectrum of drug charges. We have worked with clients accused of minor possession as a first offense, and we have defended clients facing federal drug or RICO charges who are facing decades in prison.

We understand that narcotics cases are a special and unique area of the law. From dealing with confidential informants to wire taps, our lawyers have been proven effective in defending these cases. Regardless of the crime, you expect to work with an attorney that will take your case seriously. Even minor drug charges can be accompanied by severe and long term consequences. You need experienced representation with a proven record of fighting for the rights of individuals accused of drug crimes.

Attorneys That Understand How to Pursue Drug Crimes Defense

Thousands of Pittsburgh area lawyers handle criminal defense and drug charges, so it may be difficult to decide who is best equipped to handle your case. When you consider how even a first time minor drug possession charge can impact your life, the decision about representation is a naturally important one.

Here is what you need to know about our drug crimes and criminal defense practice:

  • Our attorneys have 50 years of combined criminal defense experience
  • We handle all drug cases, such as possession, DUI arrests, intent to deliver/delivery and federal drug crimes
  • We understand and have experience with the complexities of countless issues such as mandatory sentencing guidelines, wiretaps, handling confidential informants and grand jury indictments
  • We are committed to outstanding client service — your rights come first.
  • We aggressively approach each case, which can mean the difference between jail time and acquittal
  • We support clients at every stage, whether you are being investigated, indicted, arrested or tried

Our attorneys see people, not cases, which is why we take as seriously the responsibility of representing a college kid caught with a marijuana cigarette as we do clients caught with large amounts of narcotics. In both cases, rights, futures and freedoms are at stake. You don't want a lawyer that makes value judgments about how important your case really is based on profitability. You want an attorney that pursues every case with your interests at the forefront of all decisions.
