Drug crimes are prosecuted harshly in New Jersey.

I am Susan C. Cassell, Esq., and I have been practicing law for more than 20 years. I provide aggressive representation to people throughout northern New Jersey who have been charged with drug crimes in the municipal, state and federal courts. As a former federal and municipal prosecutor, I have a unique perspective on how the prosecution handles drug cases. I will put this knowledge and experience to work for you. To schedule a free consultation, call 201-445-3894 or contact my office in Ridgewood online.
I handle a wide range of drug charges involving cocaine, marijuana, oxycodone, crack, heroin and prescription drugs, including:

- Manufacturing
- Drug trafficking
- Prescription drug fraud
- Drug conspiracy, including international drug conspiracy
Fighting the Serious Consequences of a Drug Charge Conviction
Over the last two decades, the consequences of a drug conviction have gotten more serious. Not only could you be facing jail time and substantial fines, a drug conviction could make you ineligible for financial aid and certain jobs. You may even be barred from renting an apartment or taking out a loan. If you were charged with a weapons offense in conjunction with a drug charge, the penalties get even steeper. That is why it is so important to work with a skilled lawyer.
I look at every angle of your case for opportunities to challenge the prosecution and minimize your consequences. If the police violated search and seizure laws, or infringed on other rights, you can be sure I will fight to have evidence dismissed or the charges dropped. I am committed to obtaining the best possible outcome on your behalf.
