You do have "some" options but you can change the degree of the crime. Call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss.
Felony to misdemeanor
Based upon the information that you provided, you qualify as a "young drug offender." What that means is that your waiting time is only one year, not ten. Thus it is likely that you can apply for the expungement right now, and that it will be granted.

Re: Felony to misdemeanor
Your message is a little unclear, but if you have not yet gone to court and been convicted of the marijuana distribution charge then yes, if you hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer, it is possible to at least try to get the charge downgraded to a lesser charge. If you have already gone to court and been convicted though, then you cannot then change everything around. 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.
