Drug Trafficking In New Jersey

Drug distribution and trafficking charges in New Jersey are serious offenses that carry the potential for long prison terms, asset forfeiture, and permanent damage to your record. Whether you’re accused of selling, transporting, or possessing drugs with intent to distribute, the consequences can be devastating. That’s where a dedicated Drug Distribution Attorney NJ from HS Law Group steps in.

Our firm has successfully defended clients against charges involving heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines, fentanyl, and prescription drugs. We understand how to challenge the prosecution’s assumptions and protect your rights under New Jersey law. If your case overlaps with municipal court violations or involves civil rights violations, we’ll investigate every detail to build a strategic defense.

What Types of Drug Distribution Cases Do We Handle?

Possession With Intent to Distribute

Large quantity or packaging can elevate a possession charge. We challenge the alleged intent behind the arrest.

School Zone Distribution Charges

Distributing drugs within 1,000 feet of a school triggers mandatory penalties. We fight to reduce or dismiss these enhancements.

Prescription Drug Trafficking

Unlawful distribution of pills like Xanax, Oxycodone, or Adderall is a growing issue. We offer skilled legal representation in these cases.

Interstate & Federal Drug Trafficking

When the case crosses NJ state lines, federal charges may apply. We’re prepared to defend you in state and federal courts.

Conspiracy to Distribute

Even if you didn’t sell drugs, involvement in a suspected network may result in charges. We fight to prove lack of intent or knowledge.

Large-Scale Drug Operations

Facing surveillance-based or multi-defendant charges? We challenge warrant validity, informant reliability, and chain of custody.

Arrested for Drug Trafficking in NJ? We Can Help You Build a Powerful Defense.

You are not guilty just because you were arrested. At HS Law Group, our Drug Distribution Attorney NJ will review your search and seizure circumstances, witness credibility, and every line of the prosecution’s evidence. Whether it involves a DWI-related arrest or overlaps with a drug possession case, we take a holistic approach.

Why Choose a Strategic Drug Distribution Defense in NJ?

Prosecutors often attempt to build drug distribution cases using circumstantial evidence such as plastic baggies, digital scales, or large amounts of cash. While these items may raise suspicion, they do not automatically prove intent to distribute drugs. Unfortunately, in areas like Paterson, NJ and Camden, NJ, we’ve seen law enforcement overreach—bringing serious charges against individuals based on weak evidence, racial profiling, or statements obtained under pressure. Our firm has successfully challenged these tactics in court, exposing flawed assumptions and protecting our clients from unjust prosecution.

Beyond fighting current charges, we’re also committed to helping people rebuild their lives. If your case was dismissed, downgraded, or resolved in your favor, you may be eligible for expungement, a legal process that clears your criminal record. This can be life-changing, opening the door to employment, housing, education, and other opportunities. Our attorneys guide you through every step of the expungement process, ensuring your future isn't defined by your past.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between drug possession and distribution in NJ?
Possession means having the drug for personal use. Distribution involves intent to sell or deliver. Quantity, packaging, and other factors can shift the charge.
Can I go to jail for drug distribution in NJ?
Yes, especially for second-degree charges or more. Penalties may include 5–10 years in prison. However, strong legal defense can reduce this risk.
What are some defenses against a drug trafficking charge?
Illegal search, lack of intent, mistaken identity, or coerced confessions are all valid defenses depending on the situation.
Can I get a drug trafficking charge expunged?

Only if your charge is dismissed or you complete certain diversionary programs. We assist in post-conviction relief and expungement.

 

What if I was just in the car but didn’t know about the drugs?
You may have a strong case. Prosecutors must prove “knowing possession.” We’ll fight to show you had no knowledge or control.
