- Permanent criminal record as a convicted drug offender
- Driver’s license suspension
- Denial of rental housing
- Loss of license to practice a profession such as teaching, medicine, and so on

Defending Your Drug Possession Charges
Having the right criminal defense strategy can make all the difference in the outcome of your case. Drug possession charges are often based on evidence obtained through a search and seizure, which is why it’s important to hire a drug possession defense attorney who has a thorough knowledge of New York criminal law and can strategize on your behalf. For example, if the search was invalid due to a lack of warrant, it could nullify your charges. Another possible defense is arguing that investigators had no probable cause to search you or your property.
