Criminal charges by mail?

Edward J. Dimon
Answered by attorney Edward J. Dimon (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Edward J. Dimon
You must hire an attorney ASAP. Your attorney may be ae to obtain a Conditional Discharge which would allow for the charges to be dismissed. Do you have prior charges ? Discharges ? You cannot have this on your record. We would represent you if case in NJ. The legal fee would be $2500. Ed Dimon 732-797-1600

If arrested and incarcerated, how long does the court have to give you an initial hearing on a misdemeanor charge?

Gregory Casale
Answered by attorney Gregory Casale (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Gregory Casale, Attorney at Law
If you are arrested and held, the police are to bring you to the local court on the next business day for arraignment. This can be longer if you are released. Once you are arraigned, you must be brought back to court, if held on bail, within 30 days. These requirements can be waived by you or your lawyer.

What is the punishment for a minor distributing a controlled substance on school grounds?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
Start with automatic and permanent expulsion from the school district. Factors to consider: was if high school, junior high, or elementary school? What types and quantity of drugs were being possessed and distributed? The answers to these questions will determine the level of charge. While you are 17, and that technically is a "minor", the prosecutor could still elect to charge you as an adult. Potential charges: possession of a controlled substance (if you had pills, you could conceivably receive a separate charge/count for each pill), possession with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia. For the distribution charge, you could receive one count for each person to whom you delivered the drug. You are probably look at felony charges, which could carry with it some substantial jail time, as well as loss of your constitutional rights. The fact that you were dealing/distributing on school grounds may also result in an enhancement of the penalties (ie., jail time and possibly prison time), for reason that schools are considered to be specially protected areas. A conviction of these types of charges will more than likely disqualify you from attending most colleges (if that is your intent), and certainly disqualify you from federal grants, scholarships and student loans. My advice to you is to retain a good criminal defense attorney in your area.
