Mr. Applebaum understands the importance of trial preparation. He prepares thoroughly and closely scrutinizes police procedure, lab results and the prosecution’s case to identify defenses that may be available to his clients. This type of defense only comes with an experienced Pennsylvania drug defense attorney with forensic toxicologists and laboratory clinical scientists on retainer. There are a number of ways that he can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case:

  • He has experience winning suppression motions when evidence has been obtained as a result of an illegal search and seizure, including drugs that were seized following a traffic stop that was conducted without sufficient probable cause, evidence seized after a search warrant was issued without probable cause or evidence seized when law enforcement officers have exceeded the scope of a search warrant.
  • His experience as a trial lawyer is critical if your case goes to trial.
  • He knows from experience that defendants who take advantage of drug treatment options to better their lives will in most cases create a more favorable impression on judges and prosecutors, thus improving a client’s opportunity for a more favorable outcome.
  • Depending on the facts of your case and the nature of your charges, he may be able to negotiate a plea agreement that enables you to avoid a criminal conviction, accept a plea to a lesser offense or significantly minimize the penalties arising from your charges.
  • Veterans hold a special place in Attorney Applebaum’s opinion and deserve special consideration. He has utilized veteran court for the benefit of deserving servicemen who drug issues stem from service related issues.

Every criminal defendant has a right to an aggressive defense. At Applebaum Joachim Law Group, you can be certain that you will have a dedicated and highly skilled advocate on your side who will fight to obtain the best possible outcome on your behalf.
