Alternatives to Jail for New Jersey Drug Convictions

At The Law Offices of William D.

In some cases, we are able to get the charges downgraded to a Disorderly persons offense or assist our client’s in applying to drug court as an alternative to jail.Penalties for Possession, Distributing or Selling EcstasyThe penalties for possession of a drug vary according to the type of drug and the amount of the drug in your possession.

Why You Need an Experienced Trial Lawyer

Many attorneys take drug crime related cases. Unfortunately, more than 90% of all drug cases do not go to trial because most offenders simply plead guilty.

Mr. Ware never just accepts a plea bargain unless it is in your best interest and you are satisfied with the resolution. We strive for a verdict in your favor in each and every case.

As a former prosecutor, Mr. Ware has served in trial units where drug crimes comprised the majority of his cases. This experience allows him to see every case from the prosecutor’s prospective. He knows when evidence is weak, flawed, or missing and he knows how to challenge a criminal drug case presented against you, effectively prepare for trial and negotiate when necessary.
