A charge for possession or sale of drugs such as cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, Vicodin, hydrocodone, OxyContin, any unauthorized prescription drugs and, in some cases, marijuana, are extremely serious. Until recently, New York had the most serious penalties for these offenses in the entire country. Conviction for some of these charges can result in a mandatory jail sentence of up to 20 years, even for a first offender. If you have been charged with possession or sale of drugs, you must take immediate steps to obtain a smart, experienced, and aggressive Long Island drug crime defense lawyer to protect your future.
