Drug Crime

Drug Crime Defense in Brooklyn and Manhattan

A drug arrest can mean jail, a criminal record, immigration problems, and the loss of a job or a license. If you can hire private counsel, do it before your first court date. I am Lowell Sidney, a former Kings County prosecutor with about 20 years of criminal practice. I handled drug cases from the prosecution side, and I defend them now in Manhattan and Brooklyn. 

I represent private clients on charges such as:

  • Criminal possession of a controlled substance 
  • Possession with intent to sell 
  • Sale or attempted sale 
  • Marijuana and cannabis offenses that still carry criminal exposure 
  • Cases that may move between state court and federal attention 

A possession case is not “minor” just because the weight looks small. New York still treats many controlled-substance cases as felonies, and a bad first appearance can lock you into a worse path. I look at the stop, the search, the lab, and the complaint for what the People cannot prove.
