Long Island Drug Possession Attorney Edward Palermo Explains the Different Drug Possession Charges in New York
Oct 14, 2022
October 14, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Long Island drug possession attorney Edward Palermo (https://edpalermo.com/long-island-drug-possession-lawyer/) releases a new article explaining the different drug possession charges in New York. The lawyer mentions that even though a lot has changed in the stance of people on the “war on drugs” and the legalization of marijuana in many states, prosecutors still take drug possession very seriously.
“A criminal drug possession conviction on Long Island, and sometimes even a drug possession charge, can haunt you for the rest of your life. Not only can it result in severe penalties, including fines and jail time, but a criminal record can affect your ability to get a job, housing, professional certifications, and even custody of your children. Don’t leave this to chance,” the Long Island drug possession attorney says.
The lawyer mentions that all states have laws that regulate the possession of controlled substances. These laws differ from one state to another. New York has some of the strictest drug laws in the country.
Attorney Edward Palermo adds that Drug possession charges can be physical possession or constructive possession. This means that an individual can be charged with possession if they have control over the person or place where drugs were found. Even a small amount of an illegal drug can be arrested and charged with drug possession.
In the article, attorney Palermo adds, “Possession charges range from possession of a controlled substance to trafficking, with penalties depending on the type of controlled substance, the amount in someone’s possession, the intent, and other factors. Depending on the type and amount of the drug, being convicted of drug possession can result in charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. The only exception is the unlawful possession of marijuana charge which will result in a violation.”
Lastly, attorney Palermo emphasizes the importance of having a skilled criminal defense lawyer when facing trespassing charges on Long Island. Having an experienced lawyer may be able to help the defendant protect their rights and their freedom.
