NYC Anabolic Steroids Lawyers

Anabolic steroids are very dangerous controlled substances that have received a lot of attention over the past few decades. Over the last few decades, anabolic steroids have continued to show up in media stories as they pertain to their used by college and professional athletes. While college and professional athletes have used them in the past, they have also used by people of a variety of different ages. Due to the significant health risks that come with the use of anabolic steroids, there are many different rules and laws in place that help to prevent their accessibility and use.

Controlled Drugs
Since there are many different health risks associate with the use of anabolic steroids, there are many that are currently outlawed in New York and the rest of the country. Some of the most common anabolic steroids that are outlawed include testosterone, androstendione, and boldenone. All of these provide a variety of strength building benefits, but also can harm you in a variety of different ways.

Crimes Associated with Anabolic Steroids
Overall, there are many different crimes that are associated with anabolic steroids. One of the most common and minor crimes associated with anabolic steroids is simple possession. If you are in possession of anabolic steroids in any quantity, you will be in violation of the law and could face some penalties and charges.

Another common charge associated with anabolic steroids is the sale of the drug. Since anabolic steroids is a controlled substance, there is no situation in which you will be able to sell it. If you are caught selling the drugs in any quantity, you could face very serious penalties. This is especially true if you are selling the drugs in bulk or to younger people.

The third type of charge that can come with anabolic steroids is if you are trying to create or distribute the drug. There are several ways in which the drug can be used and consumed. If you try to create the drug, or mix it with another drug, you will be in violation of additional drug charges.

Penalties
Since anabolic drugs are controlled substances, you could face serious penalties if you are found guilty of any of the associated drug charges. The amount of penalties that you will face will be based on the severity of the crime and your past legal history. Those that are caught with a small amount of the drug could face up to one year in jail, but likely will avoid jail time. They will also likely have to pay a $1,000 fine and will potentially face additional punishment from any athletic association they are a member of.

Those that are trying to sell the drug could face much more serious charges and penalties. Those that are charged with trying to sell, distribute, or administer the drug could face up to 7 years in jail and fines that are well in excess of $5,000 per charge.

Common Defenses
Defenses of anabolic steroids typically revolve around stating that your rights were violated when the evidence of your crime was obtained. If the police officers did not have a proper warrant in place, all evidence obtained could be thrown out. It is also possible to claim that you did not know that the drugs you had in your possession were illegal. These drugs are somewhat similar to other alternatives, which are legal and getting them mixed up is possible. While ignorance may not get you out of punishment, you may receive leniency from a judge and jury.

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.
