Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

It depends on what type of drug possession charge he originally pled guilty to. If it was possession of a controlled substance, the potential penalty is 6mos-1yr.

It also depends on the type of violation it is? Did he have a new arrest? Or is it just technical violations? You need to consult an attorney. If you are in Montgomery County, please feel free to contact me.

There are different types of vilations...and a violation an entirely new charge. You should consult an attorney immediately. Don;t ignore the situation. Also, some judges might be stricter than others on violations.

I live and attend courts IN Montgomery County and would welcome a chance to discuss the case with you.

I assume he used the public defender, so the public defender will be there to assist again....

A true violation (failing a random urine, a new conviction or another breach of a major condition of probation) can result in the Judge vacating the old probation and resentencing the offender.

In some cases, that means jail. But in most, it means a new, extended term of probation.

Feel free to write back direct to [email protected] to discuss further.
