Q: N.J.S Charge 2c:12-1a (1) 2c:29-2a (1) is there jail time with this charge
what can happen at court
A: Yes, you could get jail time on both charges, but the amount of time will depend on the facts of your case and how good of a lawyer you have representing you to defend the charges. Generally, the better your fact and the better the lawyer that you choose, the better your chances are of avoiding or reducing the time you face. Most of us criminal lawyers offer a free in office consultation. With the charges you are facing, I suggest that you should set one up, to learn how a lawyer can help you.
