New York Distribution

According to New York law and federal law, drug manufacturing, trafficking and the distribution of drugs is illegal. A person who imports illegal narcotics into the United States such as marijuana, LSD, heroin or so called “club drugs” can face severe penalties including lengthy prison sentences. There are harsh laws both at the state and federal level set up to deal with those who import drugs with the intent to sell.

While dealing drugs is a serious crime, the punishments a person can receive will vary greatly depending on the type of drugs sold, the amount of drugs and the money the individual is paid. Another aspect that prosecutors will look at is whether the accused attempted drug selling to a minor, which can also result in harsh penalties.

Every state has its own laws to deal with drug trafficking and distribution, but most laws criminalize the selling and transportation of controlled substances into the United States. Because the transportation of illegal drugs within the United States is both a federal and state crime, a person who is arrested under suspicion of selling drugs is going to need our experienced New York Drug Distribution Defense Lawyer team working on their behalf to mount a defense.

While prosecutors may go easier on small time offenders, repeat offenders and those who are dealing in large quantities of narcotics can expect a very aggressive prosecution that may result in severe financial penalties as well as prison time.
