Get a Thorough and Comprehensive Defense

Drug charges are often filed with little corroborating evidence. In many cases, the state only has the word of another defendant or a confidential informant (usually a criminal trying to get a lesser sentence).

Our criminal defense team will perform a comprehensive process of discovery to determine if the prosecution has strong evidence against you. If they do not, we will not hesitate to take a case to trial. If they do, we will give you honest advice about your chances at trial and seek the best possible result with your input and direction.

Information for First Time Criminal Offenders

In New Jersey, first time drug offenders may qualify for Pre-trial Intervention (PTI) or a Conditional Discharge if they have no history of criminal activity. These diversion programs act as a period of probation, after which charges are dismissed (assuming full compliance with the terms and conditions of the program(s)). Contact us for more information.
