Roughly 1.16 million people in the U.S. are arrested each year for drug-related offenses according to the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics.
Law enforcement agencies at all levels devote significant resources to limiting the flow of illegal drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamines. If you have been charged with a drug offense, it is important to understand the severity of the charge and the possible consequences if you are convicted. A conviction for a drug offense can result in a prison sentence, a fine or both. In some cases, a person convicted of a drug offense may also be required to complete a drug treatment program.
If you are arrested in Massachusetts for selling just over an ounce of marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school zone–even if it was solely for personal, recreational use–you might be sentenced to mandatory jail time. Likewise, trafficking or possession with intent to distribute charges are especially serious. A conviction can mean prison time and other harsh consequences.
Our legal team represents the following drug offenses:
With our experience, we know that drug cases can be won or lost well before trial. Therefore, we take the time to review every piece of evidence in order to find weaknesses in the government’s case. For example, the police may have unlawfully searched you, your car, or your home. If this is the case, any evidence the police find as a result of an unlawful search, can be suppressed. This detail-oriented approach has led to many dismissals and acquittals for our clients.
