Controlled Substance

Charges for controlled substances vary from misdemeanor to felony depending on the weight of the substance. However, being convicted of either is a serious offense. Penalties for drug offenses can be rather severe even if for first time offenders who sold or possessed small amounts of drugs. Having an experienced lawyer with a successful track record of defending against drug charges is essential.

Convictions for controlled substances can have substantial consequences beyond jail. For example, New York State requires the revocation of your drivers license for anyone convicted of a drug offense. Other consequences can include:

• Forfeiture of money and assets
• Probation
• Possible deportation for legal and illegal immigrants
• Drug addiction treatment programs
