Re: 2c:35-10a(4)
Possession of Marijuana, a Disorderly Persons Offense, which carries maximum penalties of 6 months in jail, over $1,000.00 in fines, and 2 years loss of your driver's license. If you have been charged with this please contact me. I have handled very many charges like this in the past. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case, so don't hesitate to call. Thank you.
Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-

Re: 2c:35-10a(4)
This charge is a drug possession charge, typically used for less than 50 grams of marijuana or less than 5 grams of hashish. It is what is called a disorderly persons offense, meaning that the charge is prosecuted in municipal court and that someone convicted of it faces a maximum of $1000 in fines (plus other fees), 6 months in jail and a drivers license suspension of 6-24 months.
This charge is often issued along with 2C:36-2, for possession of drug paraphernalia. That can be anything from a roach clip or bong to rolling papers, Dutch Master cigars or even small plastic bags. The penalties for this are similar to the penalties for drug possession.
Also, if the charge was issued for having drugs while in a car, there is typically an additional charge issued for having drugs i a car. The penalty for that includes a mandatory 2 year license suspension.
There are often ways to get around these penalties, or even to avoid a conviction in the first place. I urge you to discuss the matter with me or another attorney. My number is 877/688/3879.
