Frequently Asked Questions About Drug Charges

  • What’s the difference between possession and intent to distribute?

    Possession means having drugs for personal use. "Intent to distribute" suggests you planned to sell or share them, and it carries harsher penalties.

  • Are all drug crimes felonies in New York?

    No. Some low-level possession charges are misdemeanors, especially with marijuana. But most cases involving hard drugs or large amounts are felonies.

  • Can I go to drug court instead of jail?

    Yes, if you're eligible. First-time or non-violent offenders may qualify for diversion programs that emphasize treatment over punishment.

  • What if police searched my car without a warrant?

    Illegal searches are common in drug cases. If your rights were violated, we’ll file a motion to suppress the evidence.


    Know Your Rights

  • Can past drug convictions affect my new case?

    Yes. Prior convictions can increase penalties and affect your eligibility for diversion or leniency. We’ll fight to mitigate those effects.
