A Dedicated, Individualized Approach To New Jersey Drug Defense

You deserve more than a quick, cookie-cutter defense strategy. At the Law Offices of Peter G. Aziz & Associates LLC, we believe thoughtful representation starts with understanding you and the unique circumstances surrounding your case.

Whether you are facing a minor possession charge or a complex distribution offense, we will give your case the time and care it requires. As your attorneys, we will explain how New Jersey evaluates drug crimes and what factors may shape your potential defense.

How New Jersey Drug Crime Penalties Are Determined

In New Jersey, drugs are classified based on their risks and potential for abuse. These classifications, as well as the amount of the substance involved, affect the penalties you could face if charged with a drug crime.

For example, Heroin is a Schedule I controlled substance. Penalties for a first offense may include:

• At least one year in prison
• At least $1,000 in fines
• Revocation of your driver’s license
• Mandatory participation in a rehabilitation program

Penalties become harsher if you have previous charges on your record or are charged with distribution rather than simple drug possession.

Any criminal charge on your record could have a significant impact on your life, barring you from future opportunities and affecting your current employment and finances. Finding a drug defense lawyer is the first and most important step to safeguarding your future.
