Monmouth County Drug Charge Attorneys

Drug charges are extremely serious events that result in jail, criminal records, steep fines and penalties, and tarnished reputations. New Jersey state and municipal police officers actively patrol and investigate for potential suspects in possession or actively distributing marijuana, cocaine, heroin and prescription drugs such as Oxycontin, Percocet, and Ritalin. Monmouth County has not been immune to the “Heroin Epidemic” facing New Jersey. As a result, the state has devoted vast amounts of taxpayer dollars to task force and undercover police operations in the hope of alleviating the problem and finding the distributors of heroin and prescription drugs. As a result, thousands of people are arrested and charged with drug offenses in Monmouth County each year.

Depending upon the type and quantity of the drug and the circumstances of the arrest, drug cases may be handled in Monmouth County Superior Court or the township or borough municipal court where the offense occurred. McGuckin Law understands the complexities involved with drug charges in the Monmouth County Superior Court system as well as each municipal court. We handle all manner of drug offenses including:

  • Middletown Marijuana Possession
  • Eatontown Heroin Possession in a School Zone
  • Neptune Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute
  • Wall Township CDS in a Motor Vehicle
  • Aberdeen Drug Paraphernalia
