Fight a Drug Crime Charge in Westchester County

Drug Crimes in White Plains & Peekskill

Although in recent years, there have been significant changes to the drug, controlled substance and narcotics laws of New York, those changes have not lessened in seriousness. There is substantial importance in having an experienced and dedicated Westchester County criminal defense lawyer.

In fact, the recent changes to the New York drug laws, commonly referred to as the "Rockefeller" laws, require mandatory minimum prison sentences. Many have serious maximum penalties which include long jail sentences and even in some cases lifetime imprisonment. The harshness of the laws, even for first-time offenders and for those cases involving small amounts of drugs or narcotics, requires that you have criminal defense attorneys who are knowledgeable and prepared to vigorously defend your rights.

Depending on the charges and the various circumstances, our Westchester County drug crime attorneys will be able to help you by fighting for alternative sentencing or other more manageable outcomes. We also offer free case evaluations to help those who have been arrested and looking for knowledgeable legal counsel.
