A felony drug charge isn’t just serious — it can change your life. If convicted, you may face years in prison, overwhelming fines, and a criminal record that affects your future long after your sentence ends.

At Shane Scanlon Law, we know how high the stakes are. We also know that behind every charge is a person with a story. That’s why we provide strategic, respectful, and results-driven defense for individuals facing felony drug offenses in Scranton, Lackawanna County, and throughout northeastern Pennsylvania.

What Makes a Drug Offense a Felony?

In Pennsylvania, drug offenses are classified based on the type of substance, amount involved, and intent. Charges are typically elevated to felonies if they involve:

  • Possession with intent to deliver (PWID)
  • Drug trafficking or large-scale distribution
  • Manufacturing or cultivating drugs
  • Repeat drug offenses
  • Use of a firearm during a drug crime

Felony convictions can carry:

  • Prison sentences ranging from 1 to 30 years
  • Fines of up to $500,000
  • Asset forfeiture
  • Driver’s license suspension
  • A permanent felony record
