Types of Drug Crime Cases We Handle

Being charged with the possession of cocaine or marijuana may seem like a relatively minor charge, but the consequences can significantly impact your future. In addition to criminal penalties such as heavy fines, seizure of property, and possible jail time, having a drug conviction on your record could limit your opportunity to get a job, pursue higher education, or serve in the military.

We understand the immediate and long-term consequences your charges represent. Our firm takes a holistic approach to defending clients against drug crimes involving:

  • Marijuana
  • Cocaine and crack cocaine
  • Methamphetamines
  • Crystal meth
  • Heroin

If you are facing drug crime charges for any of the above or other types of drugs, including prescription drugs, reach out to our Albany drug crimes attorney for personalized and aggressive legal representation.

Prescription Drug Crimes

Prescription drug crimes have been a growing problem in the nation today. We represent clients accused of prescription drug fraud and related crimes, including those involving illegally obtained prescription drugs such as OxyContin, Vicodin, and other mood-altering drugs. Such crimes usually require a sophisticated, strategic defense—something our lawyer is fully equipped to provide.

We know that most individuals accused of drug crimes are not hardened criminals. If you, a family member, your roommate, or someone else you know has been charged with drug possession or another serious drug crime, contact our firm to schedule a consultation.

Past Clients Tell Their Stories

    "Not Guilty of Murder!"
    From the day we hired Attorney Duck he seemed to be sharp and always addressing issues that didn't seem right or seemed false in my case(On behalf of the state). I feel as though if there was anything that could've been done, it was. He always kept me posted and informed with any plea bargains or court dates. I'd rather not, but if I had to go through it again I wouldn't choose anyone else. Attorney Duck is without a doubt is one of the best at what he does.

In addition, Mr. Duck and his team were well prepared and thorough, making sure that all pertinent information was presented and also revealed. Thank you Mr Duck, you are a Godsend. I highly recommend Mr. Thomas Duck to others if a criminal defense attorney is needed.
