Re: jail time

Anytime a person is convicted of a CDS offense, even the first, they CAN go to jail. Whether or not you actually do depends on what drugs, how much, the circumstances of your arrest, etc.

If your charges are in South/Central New Jersey and you would like to consider hiring a lawyer to help you, I offer free consultations.

Thanks,
