Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

conditional discharge

I was sentenced to a conditional discharge for posession of a hypo. Needle in new jersey and when I went to see the probation officer for the initial mandatory visit I failed for heroin,the probation officer than told me I had to get into a drug rehabilitation program which I signed up for and am currently attending now its one month away from my 1 year c.d. Sentence so I was called back to take a mouth swab which I failed once again for heroin while still currently attending the program..my question is can or will the courts reinstate my c.d. Or do I need an attorney to advocate for me?is failing a urine while in treatment as bad as catching new charges,if anyone can help answer this question,thank you..by the way I don't have any adult convictions and is my first offense with the law

Re: conditional discharge

You should probably hire a lawyer since you are facing an actual criminal conviction and going to jail if you go to court on your own. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to yours in various courts throughout New Jersey in the past. Please contact me to discuss your case in more detail. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-

Re: conditional discharge

You should really have an attorney ASAP to help you out here. If you violate your CD, the charge will get reinstated. However, I would first try to get the CD to stay in place. Call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss.

Re: conditional discharge

You need the services of an attorney because you are presently heading back to court to continue the prosecution which you avoided by getting first offender treatment.

I may be able to help you to stay on the program. Call me if you like.
