Drug Possession Lawyer

Have you been charged with any kind of drug possession in Brooklyn?

”You’re busted!”

Imagine the terror these words would strike if you are caught with any kind of illegal drug in your possession. Whether you are holding a small amount of marijuana or concealing a packet of cocaine, you are in big trouble.

Make no mistake: despite the changing attitudes and the increased legalization of some drugs, being caught with a prohibited substance poses grim consequences and long-term repercussions.

If you are facing a charge of drug possession, you need help from a qualified and knowledgeable lawyer, and you need it immediately.

The Law Office of James Medows can provide the skill and expertise to assist you in the complex territory of drug charges and to ensure that your rights have not been violated.

Historically, New York has had the toughest drug laws in the country, and while many of those have abated, charges are still quite serious, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies.

If you are charged with drug possession, you can face extensive jail time as well as the possibility of having your home, car, assets, money, and other possessions seized. Let James Medows help to prevent any of that from happening.

The rules regarding substance offenses are complex, such as the kind of drug.

Illegal possession can include marijuana, heroin, ecstasy, cocaine, steroids, methamphetamine, prescription drugs like Vicodin and Oxycontin, hallucinogens, ketamine—the list goes on.

James knows the dangers and consequences each involves.

Then there is the question of intent.

• Was the drug simply for your own use, recreational or otherwise?
• Did you intend to sell the drug? If so, how much of it and to how many people?
• Were you trafficking in drugs and involved in larger drug rings?
• Were you smuggling drugs, and if so, did you actually know that you were carrying them?
• Perhaps you were manufacturing drugs, for yourself or others.

Even if you were not, simply having in your possession the ingredients for making an illegal substance could land you in court facing a drug charge.

This complex maze of questions is one you should never attempt to negotiate on your own.

Call The Law Office of James Medows, where expert attorneys well versed in the intricacies of drug laws can help you get the most satisfactory outcome.

Furthermore, James can ascertain whether your arrest on drug charges is even legal.

Strict rules abide is for obtaining evidence, and if protocol not appropriately followed, a charge of drug possession could be dismissed.

• If drugs are found in your home, was the search lawfully executed?
• If drugs are discovered in your car, was the vehicle legally examined?
• In the controversial “stop and frisk” ruling, reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed or is imminent must be present, and any drugs found in an “unreasonable” search could not be admitted as evidence.

Again, James is your authority for ensuring that your Fourth Right Amendment rights are not violated. His assistance can mean the difference between a serious drug charge with dire consequences, and freedom.

What if My Child Has Been Arrested Because of Drug Possession?

As James well knows, every drug possession charge is different, informed by the type of drug, the intent of the defendant, how often the person has been arrested, and other factors.

One option is rehabilitation, a choice that avoids jail time and helps you get your life back on track, drug-free.

In other situations, James will work diligently to make sure that your rights are fully protected and that you gain the most positive outcome in your case.

He will work to the fullest extent possible to turn a harrowing experience into one that is promising and hopeful.
