WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR DRUG CRIMES IN QUEENS?
New York State’s drug laws are governed by Article 220 of the New York Penal Code – which discusses different degrees of offenses depending on the substance, quantity, and intent. In Queens, the District Attorney’s office aggressively prosecutes narcotics violations. Penalties for offenses can include:
- Jail or Prison Time: Class A felonies have extremely high sentences, sometimes up to life imprisonment. Lower-level felonies can still mean up to several years in state prison.
- Financial Fines: Depending on the severity of the case, you could face thousands (or more) in financial fines.
- Criminal Record: A felony conviction impacts your life permanently – from employment to housing issues.
- Immigration Consequences: Non-citizens could face deportation or denial of naturalization.
If federal agencies (such as the DEA) get involved, punishments will be even worse, with mandatory minimums and strict sentencing guidelines. For more information on federal charges, visit the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration or the U.S. Sentencing Commission.
OUR PHILOSOPHY ON DEFENDING YOU
At Spodek Law Group, our approach is simple: We fight for you and your family. We believe every single client deserves the best possible outcome. We work closely with you at each step of your case, from your arraignment until trial – or until the charges are dismissed. Our law firm’s track record reflects that we’re unafraid of going toe-to-toe with prosecutors.
We have handled high-profile cases that others deemed unwinnable. Our defense strategies are innovative and thorough. We’re the firm that helped represent Anna Sorokin (known as “Anna Delvey”) and stood by a juror in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial who was accused of misconduct. We get it. When stakes are high, you need a criminal attorney who has done it before, at the highest level possible – and has won. We can help you – we just need you to call us first.
WHY HIRING A TOP-RATED QUEENS DRUG CRIMES LAWYER MATTERS
Experience Matters
We know how state prosecutors build drug cases in Queens. We know the judges, the system, and the challenges you face. With over 50 years of combined experience, we understand how to win your case.
Reputation Matters
Our attorneys have been interviewed on major news outlets, including Fox 5, NYPost, and more. We are recognized as a top rated New York criminal defense law firm. When prosecutors see we represent you, they understand you have a top team on your side, and think twice before doing anything harmful.
Credentials Matter
Our managing partner, Todd Spodek, is a second-generation criminal defense attorney who has handled thousands of complex cases. The Spodek Law Group brand is a nationally recognized name in both state and federal court.
COMMON STRATEGIES WE USE TO PROTECT YOU
-
Challenging Evidence
We investigate the circumstances of your arrest. If evidence was gathered illegally—such as through an unconstitutional search—it can be thrown out. If you were coerced or entrapped, we use that to your advantage and work to get evidence thrown out of court where possible. This helps you win your case by weakening the prosecutors case. -
Probing the Legitimacy of the Charges
Sometimes, clients are overzealously with more serious offenses like “possession with intent to distribute.” We fight to reduce or dismiss inflated charges. Prosecutors have limitless resources. -
Negotiating Plea Deals (If Beneficial)
In some cases, a plea bargain with a reduced sentence is the right move and best for you and your family. We’ll only pursue this path if it’s in your best interest. -
Trial Advocacy
We’re unafraid of going to trial. Our attorneys thoroughly prepare your case. We rely on expert witnesses, lab analysis, surveillance footage, and everything needed to create doubt in the prosecution’s narrative.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I’M ARRESTED FOR A DRUG CRIME IN QUEENS?
Stay Calm.
Do not speak to law enforcement or prosecutors about your case without your lawyer present. Once you tell them you have an attorney, they are not allowed to speak to you.
Contact Our Team Immediately.
Our Queens criminal attorneys are available 24/7 to take your call. We can arrange a risk free consultation to discuss your situation, whether in person or by phone.
Gather Documents and Evidence.
If you have paperwork, subpoenas, or knowledge of specific witnesses, bring it all to our initial consultation. We offer it in person, or over the phone. We’ll use every resource to form a defense strategy with you.
CLIENT-FOCUSED REPRESENTATION
Unlike other law firms that take every single client, our approach is carefully curated. We only work with clients we can truly help. That means you get our undivided, personalized attention. When you hire us, you get:
- A digital portal for communications, billing, and document sharing
- A dedicated team that’s on your side – not friendly with prosecutors at your expense
- Attorneys who listen to your fears, your story, and your needs
- Access to an investigative network for digging deep into your case
We are recognized for providing some of the best possible customer service – which is why we encourage you to speak to us about the toughest questions you have. We’re prepared to handle it.
EXPERIENCED. DEDICATED.
