Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

Re: marijuna

If you are a first offender you can avoid pleading guilty. In any event, jail time for such an offense is rare.

Call me if you like.

Re: marijuna

Depends on if you have a record, if you have a good attorney, who the judge is, etc. Normally, if it is your first offense of any kind, I doubt it. However, I still suggest you see an attorney to make sure this is worked out the right way. Call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss.

Re: marijuna

Maybe; The law says that the judge can sentence you to jail time of up to 6 months on each of these charges. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to this 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.-

NJSA 2C:35-10(b), using or being under the influence of CDS;

NJSA 2C:35-10(c), failure to deliver CDS to police;

NJSA 2C:36-2, possession of drug paraphernalia

Violation of these statutes constitute disorderly person offenses. If convicted, the court may impose a $500.00 Drug Enforcement Reduction penalty and a $50.00 lab fee for each CDS charge. The court has discretion to fine a defendant up to $1,000 and/or incarceration for up to six months. The $50.00 VCCB penalty also must be imposed.
