Drug Crimes

Bruce A. Yerman has defended hundreds of clients accused of drug offenses in many different contexts, including:

• Long-term wiretap investigations.
• Search warrants executed inside clients' homes.
• Automobile stops where drugs are found inside the vehicle.
• Buy-and-bust operations.
• Observation sales.
• Smoking marijuana in public.

Over the years, Mr. Yerman has obtained acquittals where:

•  The client acted as an "agent of the buyer", not as a seller.
•  The undercover officer lied about the client's participation in a drug sale.
•  The undercover officer framed the client.
•  The undercover officer misidentified the client.

"Suppression of evidence" is a favorable outcome that can be obtained in drug cases where the police violate a client's rights under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.

Dismissal is a favorable outcome that can be obtained where prosecutors violate a client's speedy-trial rights under Section 30.30 of the Criminal Procedure Law.

Clients who do not wish to go to trial can sometimes avoid felony drug convictions by successfully completing intensive drug-treatment programs such as "DTAP" and "Judicial Diversion".

If you are accused of a drug-related crime, Bruce A. Yerman will knowledgably navigate you through the complexities of your case.  Contact Mr. Yerman for experienced representation and counsel.
