Orange County, New York, Drug Possession Defense Attorney
The strategic advantage you need for competent drug defense
Too many attorneys consider every drug offense as just another drug crime. Without a thorough understanding of the specific laws involved, a person charged with a marijuana-related offense could be treated the same as someone arrested for possession or distribution of a more serious narcotic. According to the law, marijuana crimes are treated differently. However, that doesn't make any difference if your attorney doesn't know the law and make that distinction in court.
As a prosecutor, I prosecuted only drug cases, from the lowest level pot dealer to the biggest A1 felon. I have parlayed that experience into a criminal defense practice that offers clients a sophisticated level of representation. Contact me for an immediate consultation regarding drug crimes defense.
Former drug-crimes prosecutor — skilled and aggressive trial attorney
I've worked on both sides and know the system. As a prosecutor, I worked hand in hand with the NYPD, the DEA and the US attorney's office. I know what their ultimate goals are and I know what their likely strategies are once they charge you. In some cases they are going to try to make you an informant. Other times, they'll try to make an example of you. Having this insight of how the investigation typically goes, allows me to plan effectively for your benefit.
Drug related crimes: I represent clients who have been charged with drug possession, distribution and manufacturing, or trafficking of illegal drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, heroin, crack, marijuana growing operations, paraphernalia, hallucinogens, as well as with illegal distribution of prescription drugs. As a former Assistant District Attorney to the Special Narcotics Prosecutor of New York City, I know how the prosecution operates. This knowledge can be invaluable when I represent you.
Aggressive advocacy, intelligent representation and a record of results
A drug case may hinge on a single narrow issue of law. Understanding how the law applies to the facts of a case is critically important to any criminal defense. Many attorneys consider drug offenses as "just another crime." When it comes to drug crimes, I know the ins and outs and obscure points that many attorneys miss. Without tough aggressive representation by an attorney who understands the specific laws involved, you may risk being charged for a more serious offense or being exposed to penalties that do not fit the crime. Every drug offense is different and requires a skilled and aggressive approach to effectively defend your rights and distinguish your case in court.
My practice areas also include:
DUI/DWI: A DUI / DWI conviction can change your life. You may face heavy fines, license suspension or revocation, a criminal record and even jail time. I'm committed to helping you avoid these penalties, whether through assertive negotiation or aggressive litigation.
Violent crimes: If you face murder, rape, manslaughter, assault, kidnapping or other violent crime charges, you risk waiving your rights if you talk to the police without a lawyer present. My goal is to represent you as soon as possible - from the moment of your arrest - in order to better protect your rights.
