Keith E. McAndrews, Attorney at Law practices from 174 Middletown Blvd, Suite 300, Langhorne, PA 19047, defending clients against marijuana possession charges. Despite many states decriminalizing recreational marijuana, Pennsylvania has not yet enacted such legislation, making marijuana possession cases among the state’s most commonly prosecuted drug offenses. Attorney McAndrews explains that many individuals plead guilty without realizing the far-reaching consequences, including significant fines, court costs, limited professional opportunities, and restricted educational options. With over a decade of experience defending clients in Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Philadelphia Counties, he develops strategic defenses challenging the legality of stops, searches, and evidence seizures. The firm outlines Pennsylvania’s marijuana laws, noting that possession of 30 grams or less constitutes an ungraded misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail and $500 in fines, while possession of more than 30 grams is punishable by up to one year in jail and $5,000 in fines. For eligible clients, McAndrews secures access to pre-trial diversion programs including the Bucks County District Court Diversion Program, Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD), and Section 17, which allow for charge dismissal and record expungement.
