New Jersey Drug Charge Attorneys. Call Us Now For a Free Consultation
Possession of narcotics in New Jersey is technically referred to as possession of a controlled dangerous substance (CDS). The penalties for possession of drugs vary greatly depending on the amount in possession and where the arrest was made, for example, on school property or in a public park. If you have been charged with a possession offense, you will need experienced legal defense to give you the best possible chance of having the charges reduced or dismissed and avoid a jail sentence and other severe penalties.
