Defending Clients Against New York and Federal Drug Charges
If you have been charged with a drug crime, it is important for you to have legal representation from a criminal defense attorney who understands the various issues that can arise. For example, drug crimes are frequently related to problems of addiction or substance abuse that seldom respond to punishment or incarceration.
At the law firm of Russo & Pedranghelu, our Nassau County drug crime lawyers are sensitive to these circumstances and experienced at bringing such matters to the attention of the court. In addition, we seek to identify appropriate treatment options whenever possible.
Advocates for Treatment Rather Than Punishment
We defend clients who have been charged with a wide range of drug crimes, including drug sale, possession, distribution and transportation. We handle cases involving all types of illegal drugs — such as marijuana, cocaine, crack and heroin — as well as prescription drugs such as OxyContin, Vicodin and Xanax. Most of our clients need treatment, rather than punishment, to address the addictions that have ultimately led to their arrest on drug charges.
Our attorneys are well-acquainted with the treatment options in Nassau and Suffolk counties. Successful completion of treatment through diversion programs can result in a reduction or dismissal of criminal drug charges. Equally important, treatment for drug addiction can help an individual improve his or her life immeasurably. Our attorneys advocate for clients' acceptance into diversion and treatment programs that can help them turn their lives around.
