McMahon, McMahon & Lentz - Felony Drug Offenses
The often-described “war on drugs” has resulted in severe potential jail terms
for persons convicted of felony drug violations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
and throughout the United States.
However, in many instances these cases can be skillfully defended through the
suppression or exclusion of important prosecution evidence based on Unconstitutional
searches and seizures. Most felony drug cases arise from searches and seizures of
evidence by the police, including house searches, automobile searches and searches
of individuals.
Article I, Section 8 of the Pennsylvania Constitution provides greater privacy rights
to Pennsylvania citizens than the Federal Constitution. As a result, Mr. McMahon
has a long record of success in “beating cases” based on illegal police searches
and seizures. While he was an Assistant District Attorney prosecuting primarily felony
drug cases, Mr. McMahon extensively instructed police officers in search and seizure
law.
His unsurpassed knowledge and unmatched skill in aggressively uncovering illegal
police searches and seizures and aggressively cross-examining police witnesses has
resulted in many high-profile, successful results for clients charged with serious
felony drug violations in state and federal courts.
Many times a defendant charged with a felony drug charge may have a substance addiction
which if properly documented to the court can lessen the defendant's potential penalty
under mandatory sentencing provisions. In addition, to achieving successful results
by “beating cases”, Mr. McMahon has also achieved significantly mitigated sentences
for clients suffering from substance abuse addiction in state and federal courts.
Treatment programs as an alternative to incarceration are now available in certain
counties based on the circumstances of the defendant's case and addiction issues.
You can be assured Mr. McMahon will carefully analyze your case and zealously represent
your interests.
