Heroin carries a dark stigma. People have a stereotype in their mind of what a heroin user looks like. This may be the first time anyone has ever heard of you doing drugs, or it could be an ongoing problem. But even if you are humiliated, you must fight the charges against you in an effort to get your life back on track.

The penalties for heroin possession in New Jersey can be considered quite severe. This is especially true if you have prior convictions on your record or if you are a known addict. Fortunately, not all hope is lost. A Heroin Possession Defense Lawyer in New Jersey may be able to help you avoid the worst penalties and fall-out from these latest charges.

New Jersey Heroin Possession Penalties

Under New Jersey law, possession of heroin is considered a third degree offense. This means it can carry up to 5 years in prison plus fines. If you have an extensive criminal history, your sentence could be even longer.

If this is your first offense, however, there’s a good chance that your sentence will be suspended and that you will be given the opportunity to serve probation instead of jail time. But long before that happens, you have an opportunity to clear your name and potentially avoid a criminal record altogether.

The defense strategy that your attorney decides to use on your case will depend on the facts of your case, your history, and a variety of other factors.

If it’s determined that the police somehow violated your rights when conducting the search, for instance, we can move to have the evidence thrown out and the charges dismissed. If you maintain your innocence, however, we can fight the charges all the way to trial and beyond. Even if you admit some fault, there is always the chance that we could negotiate a favorable plea agreement with the prosecutor.

The bottom line is—your case is unique and your defense strategy will be uniquely tailored to it.

In New Jersey, there is also the chance that your case is eligible for drug court. If this is the case, you can get help for any addiction problems while avoiding jail time. Discussing this option with your attorney will help you understand what is all involved in the drug court handling of a heroin possession case.

If you are facing charges of heroin possession, contact us today. I am a highly skilled Heroin Possession Defense Lawyer in New Jersey and we offer a free consultation and may be able to help you fight these charges.
