An arrest for driving while ability impaired by drugs may be based purely on a smell or the officer's suspicion, but often this is not reliable. It is important to hire a lawyer experienced in defending cases such as these.  David W. Haber is a former felony prosecutor who understands how the prosecution will approach your case. We defend clients who are in possession of, or suspected of using controlled substances, including:

Marijuana Cocaine OxyContin

Percocet Valium Heroin

After the arrest, a suspected user may be given an assessment by a drug recognition expert (DRE) and/or a blood test. If you refuse to take the test, your license can be suspended or revoked. Even if you are acquitted, if you refused the test it will be harder to get a conditional license. As a former felony trial prosecutor, our attorney knows how to build a strong defense for his clients.

Consequences for a Conviction are Serious

Attorney David Haber offers clients the representation needed to negotiate a reasonable and fair sentence. Persons convicted of this crime face penalties including jail time, probation, community service, fines and license suspension. The charges may be even more serious if you are suspected of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and drugs at the same time.

If you have been arrested for driving under the influence of drugs, it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible. Schedule your free initial consultation online or by calling 516-714-4039.
