New Jersey Drug Possession Attorneys
Most drug crimes are felonies (indictable offenses), punishable by prison and loss of liberties. A felony conviction can also create barriers for career paths and employment. Our criminal defense team works hard to get charges dismissed or reduced or to win an acquittal in court. We handle all levels of drug offenses:
- Possession of marijuana
- Possession of cocaine, heroin, meth and other controlled substances
- Unlawful possession of prescription drugs
- Possession with intent to distribute
- Drug transactions
- Drug trafficking and conspiracy
We exhaust all defenses, such as Fourth Amendment search and seizure violations, and explore all options. Depending on the quantity, prior offenses and the circumstances of your drug arrest, you may qualify for pretrial intervention, drug court or other alternatives to jail and a criminal record. We are confident we can improve your situation rather than simply pleading guilty to the initial charges.
