Being accused of possession or distribution of drugs in the State of New is serious. Even possession of Marijuana can have long lasting and far-reaching consequences. The consequences are especially severe if the defendant is not a US citizen. Even a minor conviction can cause an Alien to be put in to remove proceedings. That is why if you are not a US Citizen, and you are accused of a drug crime it is paramount that you hire a firm that under stands the immigration consequences involved with drug crimes. Immigration law is exceptionally harsh and unforgiving and on mistake by an inexperienced criminal can cost a person their green card.

In addition, drug convictions can make a person ineligible for Federal Student loans, certain types of subsidized housing. Often times during drug crimes the government will move to seize your car or even sometimes your house.

For the aforementioned reasons, it is important that you hire an experienced criminal defense law firm to represent you even on simple Marijuana cases. When it comes to criminal law, what you and your lawyer don't know can hurt you.
