Working with a New York drug crime attorney is crucial in the face of drug sale charges, or even an investigation of this kind. Whether formal charges have been filed against you, you will be at risk of facing charges and a conviction that will forever change your life. The unlawful sale of controlled substances is a felony in New York, regardless of the type or amount of drug involved. The least serious form of this offense is a class D felony, punishable by up to 7 years in state prison. If larger amounts of narcotics are involved, the defendant can expect to face increased penalties, all the way to life in prison. Enhanced penalties may apply if the sale allegedly occurred at or near a school or church, or if a child was involved.

Even if a sale does not actually take place, an attempted drug sale or even possession with the intent to distribute or sell may result in serious criminal charges and penalties.
