NJ Drug Charges Attorney

If you’ve been charged with a drug crime, you need a criminal defense lawyer who has the experience to win your case. At Nugent Law, we specialize in aggressively representing people charged with drug crimes, whether in Superior Court or Municipal Court, including:

  • Possession of Drugs (CDS-Controlled Dangerous Substances);
  • Possession with Intent to Distribute CDS;
  • Distribution of CDS;
  • Manufacturing of CDS;
  • Possession, Use or Being Under the Influence of CDS;

  • Selling Near or in a School Zone;
  • Possession of Paraphernalia;

Drugs are classified as Controlled Dangerous Substances, and include legal and illegal drugs, including Marijuana, Cocaine, Heroin, Ecstasy, Percocet, Xanax, Vicodin, LSD, Steroids, and others drugs.

These types of charges can be won, or the penalties minimized. Many times, drugs are found because of an illegal search or seizure and may be suppressed. In most states, police and prosecutors must have the drugs tested by a lab, and those labs can make mistakes, or fail to test the drugs at all. Sometimes, people are charged with Possession when they don’t actually possess the drugs, for example when found in a car. There are diversionary programs that may help get the charges dismissed, such as Pretrial Intervention or Conditional Discharge. Options to jail include Rehabilitation programs, Drug Court, etc.

No matter the charges, the penalties are serious and could affect your future. You could be sentenced to jail, ordered to serve a long term of probation and pay excessive fines, penalties and assessments. You could lose your job. Your driver’s license could be suspended.
