New Jersey Drug Sales Defense Attorney

Law enforcement devotes a large amount of time and resources to fight criminal drug activities.  Due to the seriousness of the crime, an individual arrested for selling drugs may face harsh penalties.  A criminal conviction can affect an offender for the rest of his or her life.  Upon a criminal conviction, friends and family members may distance themselves.  A criminal record can make it impossible to hold certain professional licenses or work in jobs that require security clearance.  Upon conviction, an offender may lose assets, personal and real property, or a child custody award following a divorce.  An individual charged with drug sales should contact a NJ criminal defense lawyer like Rafael Gomez for legal assistance and advice before making incriminating statements to the authorities.  The Law Firm of Rafael Gomez has the knowledge and resources available to defend clients successfully when charged with drug crimes including drug sales. 

Sales of CDS and Penalties

A drug sales conviction (Distribution of CDS) can result in harsh sentencing including:

• Prison or jail time
• Large fines and court costs
• Parole or probation
• Drug education and rehabilitation programs
• Periodic chemical testing
• Driver's license suspension

Circumstances surrounding the crime of illegal drug sales can affect the degree of sentencing.  The amount of drug sales and the type of drugs, use of minors or gang members for drug selling, and whether the crime involved the use of weapons or violence can affect the decision of a judge at sentencing.  It is important to have a good defense against criminal drug charges.  The prosecution must present a case that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that a drug sales criminal act occurred.  The defense can challenge warrants, arrest procedures, forensics, witness statements and other evidence presented to the court.  At The Law Office of Rafael Gomez, his goal is to provide the best defense resulting in dropped or lessened charges against his clients.  Make an appointment today for a consultation to discuss allegations of distribution/sales of CDS.
