Our Legal Services & Focus

 Philadelphia & New Jersey Gun and Drug Crimes Defense Attorney
Arrested for a Firearm or Drug Crime? You Don’t Have to Face This Alone.

If you’ve been arrested for illegal gun possession, PWID, or any drug or weapons felony in Philadelphia or New Jersey, the legal system is already moving against you. At Glanzberg Tobia Law, we move faster.
We are a full-service criminal defense firm with decades of courtroom experience, defending over 500 clients in high-stakes felony cases — many of whom faced life-altering charges. From first-time arrests to repeat offenses, we know what it takes to protect your future, your freedom, and your record.

Firearm & Gun Charges in Philadelphia
Common Gun Crimes We Defend:

• VUFA – Violation of the Uniform Firearms Act

• Possession Without a License (Title 18 § 6106)

• Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person (18 § 6105)

• Firearm in Vehicle Without Permit

• Illegal Possession with Prior Felony

• Firearm Possession During Commission of a Crime

• ​

In Philadelphia, even possessing a legally purchased firearm without a PA license can lead to felony charges. Many people are unaware that Pennsylvania gun laws differ drastically from surrounding states, and crossing the wrong border can cost you years of your life.

✅ We challenge probable cause, illegal search & seizure, and unlawful traffic stops
✅ Deep knowledge of DA policies and gun diversion programs
✅ Experience with first-time offender protections, especially for college students and workers with no prior record
✅ Aggressive motions to suppress evidence and block unreliable testimony

 Felony Drug Charges – Defense for PWID, Possession & Trafficking
Common Drug Offenses We Handle:

• Possession With Intent to Deliver (PWID)

• Simple Possession of Controlled Substances

• Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

• Distribution or Manufacturing Charges

• Conspiracy Charges Tied to Drug Offenses

• Federal Drug Charges (DEA Involvement)

​

Whether you were found with marijuana, pills, heroin, cocaine, meth, fentanyl, or other controlled substances, Pennsylvania and New Jersey drug laws are aggressive. Prosecutors often overcharge to force plea deals, and evidence can often be thrown out when challenged properly.
✅ We attack unlawful search warrants, GPS tracking, and cell phone data
✅ PWID charges dropped or reduced to misdemeanor possession
✅ Focus on diversion programs and treatment options when eligible
✅ We work with forensic toxicologists to challenge lab results

Common Questions from Clients Like You
“Can I go to jail for having a gun in my car in Philly?”
Yes — without a valid PA license, you face felony charges, even if it’s registered in another state.
“Will I lose my job for a drug arrest?”
Possibly — but we fight to keep your record clean or sealed through ARD or pre-trial diversion when available.
“The cops didn’t read my rights — does that help?”
It might — but the real question is whether your Fourth Amendment rights were violated during the search or stop.
