New Jersey Drug Possession with Intent to Distribute Attorneys
Facing charges of drug possession can be daunting, and being convicted on those charges can have serious consequences. In most cases, if you are in possession of a certain amount of illegal drugs, then it is assumed by law enforcement officials that you had an intention to distribute them to others. Because of this assumption, courts can pursue a case for drug possession with intent to distribute, and prosecutors are under no legal obligation to actually prove that you are distributing drugs.
If you find yourself accused of any drug-related crimes, it is important both for your freedom and your future that you seek skilled and experienced legal counsel. To discuss your case with a tenacious legal advocate, contact the New Jersey drug possession with intent to distribute lawyers at the Law Offices of Jason Volet, LLC, at 732-503-9868.
Factors Influencing the Severity of Punishment
Penalties for conviction can vary based not only the amount of drugs that an individual has in his possession, but also the kind of drug that he or she possesses. Possible sentencing for conviction may include:
- Fines
- Probation
- Mandatory rehabilitation
- Jail time
Also, some drugs have more severe penalties for possession. Methamphetamine, heroine, and crack cocaine possession and distribution often have much more serious consequences for conviction than possession and/or distribution of marijuana. Also, if an individual is found with illegal drugs within 1,000 feet of a school or 500 feet of a park, the penalties for conviction can be more serious.
