New York Marijuana Possession and Sale Attorney
Marijuana crimes are common in our society and so many people do not take them seriously. Yet fines, mandatory rehab and possible jail time are just some of the consequences facing those charged with intent to sell marijuana or other drug crimes. In fact, possessing eight or more ounces of marijuana is a felony charge, which can result in up to 15 years in prison.
At the Law Office of Luke Scardigno, I understand the seriousness of marijuana criminal charges. With more than 20 years of criminal defense experience in New York, I know the laws and I can protect your rights.

Protecting You Against Marijuana Possession and Intent-to-Sell Drug Crimes
The possession and sale of marijuana can both be charged as misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the amount in possession and how many grams or ounces the person was accused of selling. However, New York treats the sale of drugs much more seriously than possession. Even if you were accused of selling a small amount of marijuana, you spend time in prison and will be fined thousands of dollars. It is important to hire a lawyer who can provide the aggressive defense you need to reduce the charge and minimize the consequences you face.
I will be by your side from the initial questioning and arrest through the finalization of your case. I will thoroughly investigate the evidence in your case, questioning police reports and challenging claims that have little merit. If evidence was obtained by violating your search and seizure rights, I will file a motion to suppress, which could lead to a dismissal of the charges altogether.
Through my thorough investigation, commitment to your rights, and skillful execution of a well-prepared defense, it is possible that you can walk away with a favorable outcome in your case.
