Drug Distribution Lawyer in Mount Laurel NJ

Obviously, Possession of Less than 50 grams of Marijuana, N.J.S.A. 2C:35-10(a)(4), will be treated less severely than Distribution of Prescription Drugs within a School Zone. One case will be a disorderly persons offense handled at the municipal court level, while the other will be subject to a formal grand jury indictment.

What is an Illegal Drug Search?

Clients constantly retain our services for charges stemming from a motor vehicle stopped-turned criminal arrest. When this happens, there is a strong possibility that the officers conducted a search of the car without a formal warrant. If this happens, it is imperative that we preserve all evidence (MVRs, Audio, dispatch tapes) to uncover the circumstances underlying the presumptively unlawful search. Because the potentially exculpatory evidence is subject to “destruction,” and attorney must send preservation letters to local law enforcement. If you believe you were subject to an unlawful search or warrant-less search, call our office today at 609.850.8284.

Burlington County Mandatory Drug Court

Pursuant to legislative mandate, the New Jersey Superior Courts have implemented Mandatory Drug Court for certain offenses. As outlined in Section III: Drug Court Expansion Projects, the “Special Probation” statute N.J.S.A. 2C: 35-14 was amended to require admission to the Drug Court program of otherwise eligible offenders regardless of whether they made a voluntary application. The types of situations that trigger mandatory drug court vary and you should speak with an attorney to determine if you fall into this category.

For those unfamiliar, Drug Court affords non-violent drug defendants an alternative to prison. Specifically, participants will engage in a program that involves regular court appearances, drug treatment, frequent and random drug testing, and intensive supervision by probation officers. Depending on the circumstances of the underlying offense and the defendant’s responsiveness to the program, Drug Court can last up to five (5) years. However, most participants typically spend about 3 years in the program. In Burlington County, the Mandatory Drug Court Program was set to take effect on or before July 1, 2015.
