Westchester County Drug Crime Defense Attorneys
As part of the war on drugs, the U.S. government has continually increased penalties for people convicted of drug crimes like trafficking, distribution and possession of narcotics. A conviction may mean long jail or prison sentences as well as the criminal record that goes along with it, limiting your options for employment, housing and your right to bear arms.
Along with these increased penalties, the government continues to devote more and more resources to catching and prosecuting alleged drug dealers and users. The government recently reported spending $12 billion.
The result? People facing drug charges need a serious lawyer — a dedicated advocate who is at the top of his field. They need The Penichet Firm, P.C. in White Plains, New York.
