Defending Against New York Drug Charges For Decades
Now that marijuana is legal in New York, drug crimes involve substances such as cocaine, methamphetamines, fentanyl and prescription medications. In my more than 30 years as a criminal law attorney, some of the most common drug offenses that I regularly see include:
- Possession of a controlled substance
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
- Criminal sale of a controlled substance
- Possession of prescription medication
- Conspiracy offenses
- Criminal possession with the intent to sell
For years, the government has been engaged in the so-called war on drugs. Police throughout the Hudson Valley aggressively target individuals they suspect of drug offenses. Prosecutors are just as zealous in pursuing convictions after an arrest. If you are under investigation or have been arrested, it is crucial to immediately consult a drug crime defense lawyer in New Peltz.
What Are Some Possible Drug Crime Defenses?
A drug crime case may be won or lost based on a single detail. For example:
- If the drugs were recovered from your car, did the police have probable cause to stop you?
- Did the police have the right to search your person or your vehicle?
- If the drugs were recovered from your home or apartment, did the police have a properly executed search warrant?
- Can the police establish a proper chain of custody for the evidence they obtained?
Most drug cases rely on evidence recovered during a search of your car, your home or your person. As a criminal defense attorney, I will use my experience and knowledge to analyze the facts of your case. I look for grounds to get the charge dismissed or to negotiate a favorable plea bargain.
Avoid The Stigma Of A Criminal Record
In a time when background checks are a fact of life, it is vital that you do everything you can to avoid a criminal record. Most often, a criminal conviction is permanent. It will result in a life-long criminal record that may be seen by prospective employers, academic institutions, landlords, banks and the police. To avoid these serious consequences, it is important that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
