New York Drug Trafficking Explained

Drug trafficking is defined as the manufacture, distribution, and sale of controlled substances. The scale of drug trafficking can vary widely. The crime can be committed on a strictly local basis, or large organizations can operate on a statewide, national, or even global scale. The jurisdiction where the arrest takes place is also important, and in some cases federal charges are involved. An arrest of this nature is a life changing event, and the decisions made immediately after the arrest can have long term consequences. One of the most important decisions is choosing an experienced New York City drug defense lawyer. Facing drug trafficking charges without a skilled attorney could mean spending life in prison. An accomplished defense lawyer will understand how serious the situation is, and they can use all of their experience and resources to improve the legal position of their client.

  • They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.

    “Steven Raiser's law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30% penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill, who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.
