Drug Court in New Jersey

Skilled Morristown Drug Crime Defense Attorney

The nation's attitude toward non-violent drug offenders has changed dramatically over the last several decades. Jurisdictions around the nation are now following the example set forth by the State of New Jersey's Drug Court program. This program allows certain non-violent offenders to avoid many of the traditional criminal penalties, and instead attend a rehabilitation program.

My firm is The Law Offices of Christopher G. Porreca, P.C., and I am a skilled Morristown drug crime defense lawyer who can help you build a strong case for an alternative sentence. For many individuals accused of drug crimes, drug court is an effective way to put this matter behind them. When you retain my firm, I will take the time to learn about your case, and will advocate for the best possible outcome on your behalf.

Ready to take control of your situation? Call us today at (973) 828-0009.

Who Is Eligible for Drug Court?

Drug court is designed for those who, apart from their drug use, are law-abiding citizens. Those who wish to enter into a drug court program must be approved through a clinical assessment and legal screening. The prosecutor must also recommend you for the program, which is why it's so important to retain a New Jersey drug crimes attorney who is an experienced negotiator.

You will not qualify for drug court if you:

  • Have a prior conviction for a violent crime
  • Are facing charges for a violent crime
  • Committed the drug crime for profit, not to satisfy your addiction
  • Used juveniles to sell or distribute drugs

  • I met Mr Christopher Porreca somewhere back into 2006 I sat and watched him in a courtroom and I noticed he can speak to both sides so in the hallway of the courthouse I asked Mr Porreca if he would be interested in taking my case I needed the BEST, and Chris has always come on top for me. Most recently my nephew needed his help, Chris under promised and way over delivered. Chris is a very straight forward, no double talk. He's of the people, for his ppl!! 😉 Chris is very personable and generous with his time, he Never rushes the client, Chris listens and asks questions, expects the truth. We can't work from a lie.. Chris is 10 stars with me and now my whole family, for a lot of different things 😏😏. Thank you Chris for so many different things 😏 You only get BEST when YOU choose the Best!!!
