What criminal charges are covered by Attorneys at the Law Office of John F. Marshall?
The criminal defense attorneys at the Law Office of John F. Marshall represent clients relating to various criminal charges that include-
Cocaine Possession-
Aggravated cocaine possession in New Jersey involves possessing a large amount of cocaine or distributing it. This is considered an indictable offense. The quantity and purpose of the possession determine the offense’s severity.
An open container of Alcohol-
Having an open container of alcohol in any public setting, such as a street or moving vehicle, is considered a disorderly person’s crime in New Jersey. In addition to other penalties like community service or alcohol education initiatives, the maximum fine for this crime is $200.
Providing alcohol to minors-
One of the most defended cases by criminal defense lawyers is providing alcohol to minors. The New Jersey statute that governs this crime is N.J.S.A. 2C:33-17. The law requires that the State prove the defendant purposely and or knowingly offered, served, or made alcoholic beverages available to individuals under the legal age. This is known as “mens rea” or, in layman’s language, the state of mind component of the statute. This results in the State proving that the defendant purposely or knowingly provided alcohol to minors.
Exceptional Case-
If parents or guardians provide alcohol to their son or daughter in their own home, then they are not necessarily subject to these charges.
On the other hand, if the parents or guardians are providing alcohol to their sons and daughters along with the child’s underage friends, this can lead them to a lawsuit. Furthermore, subsection (b) of the statute governs the situations in which a person leaves their property in the care of another or makes the property available for a party or get-together where underage individuals will be served. The charge of serving alcohol to minors is a disorderly person’s offense in New Jersey that includes a maximum of six months’ tenure in prison as well as a permanent criminal charge on the individual’s record.
