Drug Charges

Drug charges are some of the most common and most serious reasons for arrest in New York. If you’ve been arrested for possession or distribution of drugs or narcotics, such as cocaine, heroin or marijuana, you could be facing years in prison, heavy fines, and a permanent criminal record as a convicted drug offender. This can prevent you from getting a job or an apartment, and can endanger your custody of your children.

New York law makes it easy to be convicted on drug charges, as New York creates a presumption of possession. If you’re in the same room as the drugs, you can be charged and convicted. Telling the judge that the drugs aren’t yours usually won’t save you.
