We Handle Both Minor and Serious Drug Charges
New Jersey drug charges may be handled in either Municipal Court or Superior Court depending on the amount of drugs involved and the type of offense. The more serious your charge, the more likely it is to be handled in Superior Court, where penalties can involve years in prison and thousands in fines. Also, drug charges involving inter-state conspiracy or trafficking across state lines may be handled in Federal Court.
The courts generally consider two factors in determining how serious a drug charge is — the type of drug involved, and the weight of the drug involved. The amount of controlled dangerous substances (CDS) involved will determine whether you are charged with simple possession, intent to distribute, distribution or trafficking. In addition, certain drugs like methamphetamines, heroin and crack, can carry serious penalties, while other drugs such as marijuana may have lighter penalties depending on the quantity and nature of the offense with which you have been charged.
