Sound Advice for Resolving Felony or Misdemeanor Drug Charges
If you have been arrested on a New York state drug charge in the Mohawk Valley, get the advice of a lawyer who's committed to protecting your interests through every stage of your case. Contact Callanen, Foley & Hobika to learn about the full range of your options for a positive resolution.
The best time to get an attorney's advice is right away, before the prosecution has committed time and resources to its version of the case, and before you've had a chance to make things worse for yourself through statements to police or investigators. Your best opportunities to develop a winning defense strategy or strike a favorable compromise will come up at the earliest stages of a drug case. Our lawyers can help you take full advantage of them.
We represent adults, juveniles and college students facing possession or distribution charges involving:
- Marijuana
- Cocaine
- Crack
- Prescription drugs and painkillers
- Hallucinogens
- Steroids or illegal supplements
The best strategy to pursue is going to depend on the facts of your case and the state of your record. If you're a first offender, there's a good chance you'll be eligible for adjournment in contemplation of dismissal — in other words, if you keep out of trouble for a year or so the case will go away.
In other situations, we'll have the chance to keep the evidence of the crime out of court, which will also usually lead to dismissal. Depending on the circumstances of the traffic stop or apartment search that turned up the drugs, we might be able to show that the evidence was illegally seized.
