Roxbury NJ Heroin Lawyer

Morris County is a compilation of suburban neighborhoods such as Jefferson Twp, Lincoln Park, Riverdale, Pequannock, and Randolph. However, these affluent communities have seen a steady increase in heroin use and related arrests in recent years. In fact, this is a reflection of an overall increase in heroin activity throughout New Jersey. Local police and law enforcement are no longer strangers to the signs of heroin and have initiated a statewide crackdown on the drug. This in turn, has led to an increase of arrests for Heroin Distribution and Heroin Possession. These arrests can lead to serious consequences as just the mere possession of heroin is a third degree indictable crime that is punishable by 3 – 5 years in state prison. These penalties can significantly increase if you have been charged with distribution or possession with intent to distribute heroin.
