New York City Possession Attorney

Drug Possession Lawyer in Manhattan

Even first-time offenders with no previous criminal record can face serious and severe sentences if convicted of drug possession. Possession charges are dependent upon the amount of the drug allegedly in your possession along with the schedule of the drug (federal scheduling applying to the addictive properties and medical usage of the drugs). For example, possessing a small amount of marijuana will result in a lesser sentence than if you were in possession of 5 kilos of China White heroin.
