White Plains, New York: Defense of Drug Charges
Westchester County · Rockland County
Facing a criminal charge for possession of illegal narcotics can be terrifying. Deciding how to respond can be overwhelming. If you plead guilty or just pay the fine, your criminal record will show that you have been convicted of a drug-related charge, your driver's license will almost certainly be suspended and you will face hefty fines and possible jail time. On the other hand, fighting the charge will take time, effort and funds to pay for a criminal defense lawyer.

Before making any firm decisions about how to respond to a charge of possession of illegal drugs, consult an experienced criminal defense lawyer to get realistic advice about your options and the likely impact of each.

Michael Greenspan has practiced in the criminal courts of Rockland and Westchester counties more than a decade. Almost any lawyer will tell you that the longer an ethical defense attorney works in a specific jurisdiction, the better the professional relationship he or she will develop with the local prosecutors. Having a locally known defense lawyer, particularly one like Michael Greenspan who has won the respect of the legal community, is reassuring during the difficult times following an arrest for drug possession or distribution.
We Challenge the Evidence Against Our Clients
Our job as criminal defense attorneys is not just to explain the process to our clients and stand at the side as the system processes them. We feel it is our duty to take aggressive action on our clients' behalf, with the goal of having charges dropped or lowered, reducing penalties or arguing in court for an acquittal.
As part of our efforts to lessen the effects of a charge, we challenge search warrants and eye witnesses. We also challenge measurements of weights and quantity in cases where our client is charged with distribution or possession with intent to distribute; even a microscopic miscalculation (one of just half a gram/ounce or less) can make all the difference.
