Experienced Defense Against Drug Possession Charges in New York

In the state of New York drug possession is a serious crime. Depending on the type of drug and the quantity of the drug you are charged with having possession of, the penalty if convicted can range from a year in jail to 25 years in prison and in extreme cases there have been sentences of life in prison. If you have been arrested for possession of drugs it is imperative that you seek legal counsel as soon as possible.

Types of Drug Possession Charges

In addition to the type of possession charge you face, another important factor that can have an impact on your defense is the method of search and seizure conducted by law enforcement to make the arrest and collect evidence. Law enforcement officers are required to comply with certain specific procedures during a search and seizure.

If neither a probable cause nor a valid search warrant were presented at the time of the search and the seizure, evidence collected through that process may be suppressed making it inadmissible in court. Investigating and understanding the intricate details of a drug possession charge and how to build a strong case for your defense requires a skilled attorney well-versed in drug possession and criminal law in New York.
