Criminal Defense - Drug Offenses

AGGRESSIVELY DEFENDING OUR CLIENTS IN THE AREAS OF…

POSSESSION AND SALE OF NARCOTICS
AND OTHER CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES

Narcotics charges can range from simple misdemeanors to the most serious felonies. Although New York State drug laws have been amended and modified, the penalties for most drug offenses are still steep. For example, those found guilty of sale of a controlled substance are subject to mandatory state prison time -- even for first offenses.

In order to avoid the harsh penalties associated with drug crimes today, you need legal counsel that has experience with the complex issues that arise in defending drug offenses. The lawyers at CMG have defended countless clients charged with drug crimes – providing expert counsel and an unparalleled understanding of drug laws and investigative practices that come from years spent as former prosecutors in Nassau County and New York City.

Things You Should Know If You’ve Been Charged with a Drug Crime … or Know Someone Who Needs Help

• Crimes involving narcotics are considered among the most serious offenses – with convictions leading to serious penalties, including maximum penalties of life imprisonment.
• Being convicted of a drug crime often carries minimum prison sentences even for offenders who are alleged to have sold or possess a relatively small amount of drugs.
• While the most significant consequence of a drug conviction is a prison sentence, there are other consequences beyond jail time. These consequences, if not avoided or addressed appropriately, will have a negative impact on your immediate and distant future.
