Being charged as the leader of a drug trafficking network is one of the most serious crimes in New Jersey. Prosecutors try these cases very aggressively and will often seek the maximum penalties allowed under the law which includes a very long sentence in New Jersey State Prison. If you have been charged with being a leader of a drug trafficking network, it is crucial that you consult with a skilled attorney who has experience dealing with serious cases such as this and can help you minimize the penalties in your case.

The attorneys at the Law Offices of Leonard Biddison have had tremendous success handling a huge volume of drug cases for years in Camden County including Pennsauken, Camden, Gloucester, and Lindenwold. Also, one of the members of our criminal defense team is a former county prosecutor in New Jersey who used to prosecute drug charges for the State which means we know what kinds of arguments the prosecution might make. This sort of knowledge and expertise can be extremely valuable in your case. If you have been charged with cocaine possession, having an attorney who knows what it takes to potentially beat the charges against you is imperative.
