Drug Courts in New Jersey

Let Our East Brunswick and Freehold Drug Crime Lawyer Advocate for You

When you are arrested for a non-violent drug crime in New Jersey, your case may be handled in a drug court, which is an alternative to incarceration. Drug courts instead focus on the treatment and rehabilitation of the defendant. Many recognize the cost-effectiveness and benefits of drug courts, which is why New Jersey continues to use this option for many drug crime offenders.

If your case goes through drug courts, you will be provided treatment services shortly after your arrest and at little to no cost to you in a supervised setting. If you want to ensure your drug offense goes through drug courts or need counsel through the process, call the Law Offices of Ryan E. Gilbert, LLC. As a seasoned East Brunswick drug crime lawyer, I can help you pursue a favorable outcome.

Set up an initial consultation with my firm today when you call (866) 760-6430. 

Who Is Eligible for Drug Courts?

Any adult charged with a crime that may involve jail or prison time could be eligible. Even individuals charged with criminal offenses motivated by drug addiction may have their case handled by drug courts.

The following steps are involved before your case will go this route:

  • You must undergo a legal review
  • A clinical assessment by drug court personnel must be completed
  • Your criminal history and record will be assessed (repeat and violent offenders are often excluded)

If your case is approved to go through the drug courts, you could get the help you need rather than be sent to jail or face additional penalties.

What to Expect in the Drug Court Program

Once you are accepted into drug court, you will undergo a clinically driven treatment program. Typically, this program will last around 12 to 24 months.

You may also be required to do the following:

  • Attend treatment sessions
  • Go through random drug testing
  • Regularly meet with your probation officer
  • Appear before drug court judge whenever necessary

    "Ryan To The Rescue"

    "My case had a successful outcome."
    Ryan was compassionate, intelligent, efficient and thorough; he gave good advice, represented me in court, and was successful in winning a reduction in my property taxes. I wholeheartedly recommend him. I know he handles other types of cases as well.
    - Former Client
    "Great job protecting my future"
    Ryan was a trusted adviser throughout the course of my legal issues. I was unfamiliar with legal proceedings and Ryan was able to explain to me my legal situation, and risks associated with various defenses and decisions I had to make. He took the time to explain all the scenarios to my satisfaction which gave me piece of mind and comfort. Ryan was also very responsive through various forms of communications (phone, email, text) which made keeping in contact convenient throughout the process. Ryan showed up on time (early in fact) to various appointments and appeared to handle relationship building effectively with opposing attorneys and the prosecutor. At the end of the day, I was very satisfied with the work done by Ryan as the outcome of my legal matter was better than I had expected and kept my reputation in tact, which undoubtedly will help me pursue my future career/professional ambitions.
    - Former Client
    "Professionalism at its best"
    Mr. Gilbert has made my case easy and clear to understand without all the legal jargon. He took time to help me clearly understand my case and kept me updated with all occurrences. Also, the case had been postponed and he waited alongside and had a friendly chat at the nearby Starbucks and besides giving me a great case result, he made me feel as if I had someone by my side. Patient, honest, and soft spoken, Ryan is not someone else whom just told me what to do and I just say yes too, like previous attorneys I had. I will always suggest and use Ryan Gilbert as my attorney.
    - Former Client
    "Attentive, fast responding, professional, expert"
    Attentive, fast responding, professional and expert is how I would describe the attention and service that I received from Mr. Gilbert. He solved my matter quickly and explained in very clear terms each step and set expectation for action on all sides. I was very pleased with how my matter was resolved and would recommend Mr. Gilbert to those requiring legal services. If needed I would absolutely seek Mr. Gilbert's council again.
    - Former Client
    "An invaluable asset to anyone"
    Mr. Gilbert is an excellent attorney. His knowledge and experience make him an invaluable asset to anyone looking for an attorney.
    - Former Client
    "Ryan could not have been more helpful"
    I found myself in quite a situation and Ryan could not have been more helpful in my time of need. Ryan worked tirelessly and did whatever he could to secure for me the best possible outcome. Even when I first called, I never could have imagined having my case resolve as positively as it did. Thank you so much Ryan!
