How to proceed with 7th degree possession charge of controlled substance in Nassau County, NY???

Mineola, NY Viewed 236 times. Posted 5 months ago in Criminal Defense

I have been charged with 7th degree possession of a controlled substance (cocaine) in nassau county, NY. I have a completely clean record and this is obviously my first offense. The amount of cocaine found was miniscule.

I am wondering whether or not i should plead guilty or no contest to this charge and if so, do i need a lawyer to represent me? Also, if i do hire a lawyer, will he or she be able to enter a plea bargin with DA to see if this charge can be removed from my record?

While this is a charge on the lower end of the spectrum as far as drug charges go this is EXACTLY the type of charge you should have a defense attorney for, one you provately retain. The potential for ensuring that your record could remain clean does exist, and as a result you should fight as hard as you can to ensure that it stays this way.
