we have had good success with getting people into drug court if the person is committed to being successful in drig court. we have had people with 26 arrests and convictions get into drug court. the key is being drug and arrest free for a certain period of time. we have used county jail to have the person be drug and arrest free. ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600 ext 235. please call
