- Drug Crime Defense

Recent FBI reports indicate that nationwide, drugs and drug-related offenses account for approximately one-third of all arrests. The penalties for drug crimes can be very severe in New York or New Jersey. The charges are based upon quantity, intent to sell or distribute and other factors such as weapons possession or use, evidence of sales activity, having large amounts of money, etc. The seriousness and ultimate punishment for drug crimes normally depends upon the quantity of the drug, the classification under the drug schedule, and the purpose of the possession (for personal use or for sale).
