Defense for Drug Charges in New York

In the face of New York drug charges, aggressive criminal defense representation is important. Like all criminal offenses, those involving drug crimes will be harshly prosecuted. If they have the opportunity, law enforcement and the prosecuting attorney will do their best to put you behind bars. This is why you need a New York drug crime lawyer fighting to protect your rights and interests.

At Conaway & Strickler, P.C. we represent clients throughout New York who have been arrested for drug crimes. We take on cases involving any type of illegal narcotic or prescription drug. If you have been charged with possession of an illegal drug such as heroin, PCP or ecstasy, it is in your best interests to contact a New York drug crime attorney. Depending on the amount of the drug that you are caught with, authorities may also charge you with possession with intent to distribute. The state of New York treats possession with intent to distribute as a felony offense that is punishable by up to 7 years or life in state prison. If you are caught in the act of illegal drug distribution, the penalties will vary depending on the type of drug. If you are caught distributing cocaine, crack or another illegal drug in the vicinity of a school, church or recreation center, you may face enhanced penalties.

The manufacturing of crystal meth and other illegal substances can be charged as a class D felony punishable by up to 7 years in state prison. Don't wait to seek legal counsel if you have been convicted of a drug crime. Representing clients in the face of both state and federal drug charges such as cultivation of marijuana and trafficking, we provide dedicated legal representation with a foundation in personalized client service in order to address the unique circumstances of each case. We also take on cases involving prescription fraud or forgery.
