Drug Crimes

Queens, New York, Drug Charges Lawyer

The fact that drugs and drug use have become woven into popular culture and are sometimes glamorized does not alter the fact that possession and use of cocaine, heroin and marijuana are still illegal. If you have been arrested for or are facing drug charges, securing an attorney to defend your case is essential.

At the Law Office of Bert H. Nisonoff, Attorney at Law, in Forest Hills, New York, the large majority of our practice is defending clients facing criminal charges. Whether this is your first charge or you have faced drug charges before, contact us today to get the help you need.

Serious Consequences

The laws that apply to drug crimes vary from state to state. New York state drug laws are among the most severe, carrying heavy penalties. These laws are more severe than federal law, with sentencing equivalent to second degree murder — this means that you could receive a life sentence for possession of cocaine. Our firm assists clients who face drug charges, including the following:

• Possession of large amounts of illegal drugs
• Possession of weapons as well as drugs
• Drug use
• Distribution
• Prescription drug abuse
• Sale of marijuana, cocaine, heroin or ecstasy
• Cultivation
