Drug Crime

Steven A. Cohen, Esq., brings 30 plus years of experience to drug offense cases. As a former criminal prosecutor, he knows firsthand how police and state attorneys build these cases. He knows the penalties, as well as the alternatives. He knows the steps to take to see that the drug charges you face have as little impact on your life as possible.

Defense against all Drug Crimes

Drug charges can be either state or federal charges. Typically, charges like possession are going to be handled in state courts, while drug conspiracy charges may be Federal matters that begin with thorough Law Enforcement investigations. Steven Cohen is licensed in both State and Federal Courts. Whether you are under investigation or you have been charged, remember that you have the right to remain silent and the right to talk to an attorney. Take advantage of these rights immediately. We defend against all drug charges, including:

  • Drug possession (possession of marijuana, cocaine, meth and other substances)

  • Drug distribution

  • Drug trafficking

  • Drug manufacturing

  • Drug conspiracy

Our goal is to minimize the impact these charges have on your life, so we are extremely familiar with drug charges and diversion programs.

Drug Possession

It is illegal to possess narcotics such as marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD and heroin, as well as drugs that are used to manufacture other drugs. Possession of prescription drugs without a valid prescription is against the law. It is also illegal to possess drug paraphernalia, such as pipes and other items. While these charges may seem minor, they can have a serious impact on your life. It is in your best interest to choose a lawyer who has the experience to get you through this with minimal impact.

Drug Possession Charges and Your Options

You can be arrested for drug possession if drugs were found on your person, in your home or in your car. If you were found with a large quantity of drugs in your possession, you may not be charged with simple possession. You may be charged with possession with intent to sell, which is an even more serious charge. We can defend you against it.

The amount of drugs and the classification of drug will have an impact on the options available to you, as will your criminal history. We are well-versed in the various options, particularly the Diversion Programs that may help you get through this without a criminal record. Whether you were charged with marijuana possession or any other type of drug possession, we can help.
