DRUG OFFENSES

As a former Assistant District Attorney who worked in Brooklyn's Major Narcotics Investigation Bureau (MNIB), Mr. DeVerna understands the legal rights and options you have if you have been arrested for a drug crime.
DeVerna Law can provide you or a loved one with valuable insight into your criminal matter, determine what you are up against, and how you can best face your charges to limit their ability to negatively impact your life.
THE CONSEQUENCES ARE SEVERE
Depending on the facts particular to a case, a conviction for possession or sale of a controlled substance, narcotic drug, or marihuana means more than just having a criminal record. The additional penalties for even a misdemeanor may include:
-
Incarceration (jail) for up to one year
-
Probation for up to three years
-
Fine of up to $1000
-
Seizure and Forfeiture of real and personal property
-
Seizure and Forfeiture of real and personal property thought to be acquired by committing such offense
The penalties for a felony conviction are much greater.
DeVerna Law has the experience you need to navigate through these cases and
can help you get the best resolution possible.
