Camden Criminal Lawyers

Possession of CDS with Intent to Distribute

Possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute that substance is a felony in New Jersey that brings substantial penalties, depending on the type and amount of the drug.

Possession of drugs with intent to distribute hinges on two key things: the weight of drugs in your possession; and the location of your arrest. In New Jersey, the statutes provide for a more several penalty if you’re arrested within 1,000 feet of a school, or within 500 feet of a public park or housing project, even if you had no idea that any of these places were nearby.

When our team of Camden criminal lawyers analyzes your case, we will examine every angle and detail, including, the probable cause for your arrest, whether or not the search was legal, whether the warrant requirements were satisfied, chain of custody issues regarding the seizure and testing of the drugs and any other Constitutional issues.

Gigliotti Law Group has an enormous amount of experience with handling possession with intent to distribute drug cases. We have handled thousands of these cases throughout Burlington County, Camden County, Gloucester County and Mercer County. We have fought legal battles in court over chain of custody evidence issues and state police laboratory drug testing issues. Most importantly, our firm has focused its practice on knowledgeable and aggressive representation regarding search and seizure and all other Fourth Amendment Constitutional issues.
