We will defend people against accusations ranging from a misdemeanor to an A1 felony drug charge. Our firm will fight hard to challenge the prosecution's case against you. Even a simple possession charge can have grave repercussions to your criminal record. Our firm defends people against misdemeanor and felony drug charges that include:

• Possession of a controlled substance (prescription drug, OxyContin, marijuana, and cocaine)
• Drug trafficking and distribution
• Drug sale and possession with intent to sell

Over the years, our firm has gained considerable knowledge defending people against drug crimes. There are several ways to defend against these serious allegations. One common approach is to raise constitutional issues related to the sufficiency of probable cause. Such issues include search warrant, traffic stop, informant statement, and Miranda warning. If successful, your case may be dismissed.

Under civil forfeiture laws, the State of New York may confiscate property that is a benefit of a criminal enterprise or an instrumentality of a crime. An asset of a crime is property that a person purchases from money earned by selling drugs or through another criminal method. An instrumentality of a crime is property used in the commission of a crime (automobile, home, or boat). With the counsel of an experienced lawyer, you may be able to compel the State to return your property. We will argue that confiscated property is not subject to forfeiture and should be returned.
