Passaic County Drug Crimes Attorney
Resourceful Defense Against New Jersey Drug Offenses
If you have been charged with a drug crimes offense in Northern New Jersey, you cannot afford to wait and see what happens. Prosecution will be aggressive, and consequences can include substantial jail time and a criminal record that restricts your life options for years to come.
I encourage you to contact me, Passaic County drug crimes lawyer Christopher G. Porreca, whether you want to fight drug charges, minimize consequences, or know your legal rights and options. I will not judge you, your conduct or your lifestyle. My commitment is to target the best possible outcome and build the best possible defense case given your specific circumstances.
Possession Charges — Distribution Quantities — Indictable Offenses
My criminal defense experience ranges from disorderly persons offenses such as possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana, to indictable drug crimes involving large quantities and intent to distribute. I have negotiated pleas and defended clients in both Municipal and Superior Court cases.
You can turn to me for determined, caring representation on any type of drug crime, including:
- Possession of any quantity of drugs such as marijuana, Ecstasy (MDMA), cocaine or crack, heroin, methamphetamine, and illegal possession of prescription drugs
- Prescription drug crimes, including sale of your leftover Oxycontin or other prescription drugs
- Drug trafficking
- Drug manufacturing
- Drug cultivation
- Drug distribution
- Any drug charges that expose you to substantial jail time due to the quantity involved or your prior criminal record
- Cases involving an illegal search and seizure — on the street, in a car, or in a home
Morris County Criminal Defense Lawyer With the Knowledge to Challenge Your Arrest on a Drug Offense
A dedicated criminal defense lawyer must actively stay informed about current case law. I also review recent cases and changing laws for opportunities to deploy new, effective strategies on your behalf. If you have been wrongfully or unlawfully arrested for a drug crime, I will pursue all legal avenues in your defense. This may include challenging whether a warrant was properly obtained and executed within scope.
In New Jersey, expungement — removal from your record — may be possible for certain drug convictions. I will consult with you about waiting times for expungement, the availability of rehabilitation and diversionary programs to get you back on track, and other important issues.
