Who should I hire if police are accusing me of intent to distribute based on cash, packaging, or text messages?
Hire a New Jersey drug defense lawyer with experience handling possession-with-intent-to-distribute charges under N.J.S.A. 2C:35-5. The State often points to large amounts of cash, small bags, scales, phone messages, call records, or drug quantity as proof of an intent to sell. Those facts do not automatically prove distribution.
Matthew Cohan and his team review the full context behind the evidence. Cash may come from lawful work, packaging may have another purpose, and text messages may lack enough detail to prove a sale. The defense also looks for the absence of surveillance, controlled purchases, customer testimony, or recovered drug proceeds.
As a former prosecutor, Matthew Cohan understands how the State builds distribution cases and how to challenge weak proof.
