Look for a New Jersey drug defense lawyer with experience handling disputed possession in shared spaces. Matthew Cohan and his team examine the drugs’ location, access to the area, statements, messages, and other evidence. They assess the State’s claims about your knowledge and control and investigate evidence supporting your account.

A proffer agreement allows you to provide information to the government with some assurance that your words won't be used against you in court, usually as part of plea negotiations. This is a high-risk strategy that should never be attempted without a criminal defense attorney.

Choose a lawyer with experience handling federal drug cases, including drug quantities, conspiracy allegations, mandatory minimums, wiretaps, and search warrants. Ask how the attorney approaches evidence challenges and sentencing options. Matthew Cohan and his team are experienced in these areas and represent clients in New York, New Jersey and across United States. His former prosecutor experience informs his approach to the government’s case.
