Defending clients since 1987

As a former prosecutor, Attorney Bruce Thomas has a detailed understanding of criminal law, police procedure and how prosecutors build their cases. He will carefully review in the evidence against you, making sure the charges fit the crime you are accused of and determining whether any evidence was obtained illegally.

He will negotiate with the prosecutor to have the charges dismissed or reduced, to obtain a lesser sentence or resolution through Pennsylvania's Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program. If your best option is to go to trial, he is an experienced trial attorney who will aggressively represent you before a judge and jury.

At Thomas & Thomas, we defend people from a wide variety of criminal drug charges, including:

• Drug possession: marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, crystal meth, heroin, ecstasy, prescription drugs and others
• Possession with intent to sell drugs
• Drug distribution
• Drug trafficking
• Drug cultivation or manufacturing

Pennsylvania's Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition Program

If you are a first offender, you may be eligible for the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program. As an alterative to trial, this 12-month program provides an opportunity for you to obtain treatment and resolve your case without ending up with a drug conviction on your record. After completing this program, the charges against you are dropped and the length of any driver's license suspension is shortened.
