Aggressive, Strategic Drug Crimes Defense in New Jersey and Federal Courts
A drug arrest is very serious. Depending on the severity of the alleged offense, a conviction for a drug crime can lead to heavy fines plus months or even years in prison. If you have been arrested or charged with a drug crime, do not talk to the police. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Call an experienced criminal defense lawyer instead.

At the Law Office of Jason A. Volet, LLC, we provide experienced, aggressive, and strategic defense for clients in New Jersey Municipal Courts and Superior Courts, as well as in federal criminal law courts across New Jersey. We handle the entire range of drug offenses involving drugs ranging from marijuana to cocaine and heroin:
- Drug possession
- Drug possession with intent to distribute
- Distribution of drugs in a school zone, public park or public housing zone
- Prescription drug fraud
- Cultivation or manufacturing of controlled substances
- Narcotics trafficking
- Drug importation
- Federal and state conspiracy charges
Where a drug crime takes place can have an impact on the severity of the charge and the punishment required by law. Under New Jersey criminal law, if you are arrested for drug possession or intent to sell in a public park or a school zone, there are mandatory minimum sentences.
Prescription Drug Crimes and Related Offenses
We frequently defend clients against charges involving prescription drugs like oxycodone, Vicodin, Percocet and others. Often, these drugs are acquired by taking a prescription pad from a doctor's office. Not only can you be charged with illegal drug possession or distribution, but you can also be charged with theft (for stealing the pad) and forgery (for filling out and obtaining the prescription), or even prescription drug conspiracy.
Alternative Sentencing for Drug Offenses
In certain cases, drug offenses can be handled through New Jersey's drug court, a program that offers offenders the opportunity to avoid jail time. This program usually includes a lengthy term of probation, weekly meetings in court, mandatory rehab meetings and strict adherence to the program, or a jail sentence could be imposed.
