Long Island Drug Offense Attorney

How are Penalties Determined for Drug Charges in Long Island?

The Law Office of William J. Kephart is experienced in handling all types of drug offenses. Whether it involves the allegation of the sale of controlled substances, possession with intent to sell, or simple possession of a controlled substance, our Long Island drug offense lawyer can help. We have even seen cases where patients with prescriptions were charged with possession of prescription drugs. We are experienced in defending all these types of cases throughout Long Island and all boroughs of New York City.

Drug cases give rise to many different issues that are unique from other criminal cases. Any bail set may have a hold on it that requires a specific showing of where the proceeds are coming from.

In addition, many drug charges involve forfeiture proceedings, putting your finances, personal property, vehicle, and even your home at risk. You need someone who is familiar with all of this to protect your rights. We can strategize a legal and factual defense for you based upon your individualized situation and fight for you at every stage of the proceedings.

You don't have to face these charges alone. Call (516) 234-5840 to schedule your consultation at The Law Offices of William J. Kephart.

We can defend your rights

Many drug cases involve search and seizure issues or search warrants which have been executed. You need someone familiar with the law and the current state of search and seizure so that your rights are fully protected.

Our team is knowledgeable in all the intricacies of Fourth Amendment rights, which protect you from unlawful searches and ensure that your due process rights have not been violated.

Call (516) 234-5840 today for quality defense counsel!

All court systems have specialized drug treatment or drug diversion courts for both misdemeanor and felony charges. We can discuss whether or not that option exists or not for you and why it may or may not be an appropriate route to take in your case. If it is required or can help your case, we can refer you to a certified and court approved substance abuse counselor.

Most drug convictions carry a discretionary license suspension at the time of sentencing. As your legal counsel, our Long Island criminal defense attorney will work relentlessly to ensure that doesn't happen.
