If you have been charged with marijuana possession, it is important to consult with a New Jersey criminal defense attorney. The law firm of Bramnick, Rodriguez, Mitterhoff, Grabas & Woodruff has lawyers who specialize in criminal defense law. Jon Bramnick is a Certified Civil Trial Lawyer with over 30 years of trial experience, and attorneys Casey Woodruff, Gary Grabas, and Robert Rowbotham, II are all former prosecutors. Our criminal defense attorneys regularly represent clients charged with marijuana possession.
A person convicted of possession of marijuana in a quantity less than fifty (50) grams may be subject to six (6) months in jail and up to $1,000 fine. In addition, he or she will lose his or her New Jersey driving privileges for at least 6 months and up to 2 years. In New Jersey, marijuana possession cases are taken very seriously.
The penalties become more severe if you are caught with marijuana while in your vehicle. Under New Jersey law, any marijuana or controlled substance found in your vehicle will result in a fine of $50 or more and a mandatory two (2) year suspension of your driving privileges. This suspension starts from the date of your conviction.
