Staten Island Drug Crimes Lawyer

When you have been arrested and charged with a drug crime in New York, you have some serious odds against you. Firstly, the prosecutor, who carefully monitors his or her "conviction percentage" is going to be highly motivated to ensure that you are convicted, whether you actually are guilty of the crime or not. There is enough evidence to charge you, and as this is the case, the case will be made that you are guilty of the crime. This prosecutor will have the full support of Staten Island law enforcement and other state investigative units and labs when making a case against you. It is crucial that you have an equally qualified and powerful criminal defense attorney fighting for your side. You have the right to a defense attorney, and the one you choose may make a difference in the result of your case.

Not all law firms are the same when it comes to the ability to defend a drug charge, or to take it to trial. A skilled trial attorney is an important factor in a case that may end up in front of a jury. The ability to bring a compelling defense on your behalf, as well as negotiate with the "other side" are skills that are a requirement when fighting a drug charge. At Hochheiser & Hochheiser LLP, the criminal defense attorney is experienced and a seasoned trial lawyer and is ready to defend you in court.

No case is perfect, and whatever the weak points in the prosecution's case against you may be, the criminal defense lawyer from the firm will seek them out to use to your advantage. There may have been procedural errors, or perhaps the laboratory used has a history of errors. Whatever the case is, you can rest assured that the defense attorney will have your best interests as the highest priority.
