Heroin-Related Drug Crime Attorney
We Can Help You Fight Your Drug Charges in Westchester, Bronx, Manhattan,
& Scarsdale
Heroin is an extremely dangerous Schedule I drug. It is placed in the most
dangerous schedule of drugs because of its addictive properties and the
affects it can have on the human body. Heroin is an opiate depressant.
If you have been charged with criminal possession or
criminal sale of heroin, you could be facing serious penalties, including jail time
and fines. In addition to having a felony conviction on your record if
you are proven guilty in a court of law, you may even experience difficulty
qualifying for certain types of employment.
Charges involving heroin can affect all aspects of your life. It is vital
that you contact a
New York criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you have been charged or arrested with any type
of heroin-related drug offense. If you speak with a competent lawyer as
soon as you are aware of your charges, you can minimize the accidental
damage that you may inflict on yourself when you speak to investigators,
police officers or other law enforcement agents.
Defense Against Heroin Charges
Both
possession and sale are serious crimes. A criminal sale of a controlled substance,
however, will result in higher punishments and more severe felony charges
if you compare the same amount of a similar substance between the two.
If you are facing charges related to heroin possession or sale, you are
probably wondering what you can do to defend yourself and protect your
rights. The very best thing you can do is educate yourself on the proper
procedure by contacting an attorney immediately.
The sooner you speak with a lawyer, the sooner you can start building a
