Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

Re: Penalties for NJS 2C:35-10A

There are a range of penalties for this offense, from dismissal to 20 years in prison, depending on the following factors:

1. the type of cds

2. the quantity of cds

3. the age of the offender

4. the criminal history of the offender.

In addition, the utltimate outcome depends on the strength of the State's case. If the drugs were found in a search which is suspect, the charges may either be dismissed, or the state may seek to take the risk that the charge will be dismissed by giving a better deal.

It is impossible to tell you what range YOU fit into without more information - the specific charge numbers, there are many in 2C:35, your age, record, and the circumstances of your arrest, whether you waived your rights and gave a statement - all of that information is crucial to assessing your best course of action.

Most commonly the penalties are fines/probation. There are some special programs to deal with such charges, however, that you may qualify to participate in.

An attorney can analyze the facts of the case and help you determine your best defense/options.

I practice in Courts from Trenton area and South and offer free consultations if the case is in an appropriate Court. I can then advise of the likely outcome and my fees.

Bottomline, is you max. penalty can be up to 6 months in jail is this is a dis orderly persons offense. It all depends on the type of drugs and the weight. There are very high fines and probation as a possibility. You may qualify for a conditional discharge, which means you do probation if sucessful, the case will be dismissed against you. You can call my office for a free phone consultation.
