A drug-related arrest in Massachusetts – or anywhere else -- is not a casual matter. A conviction may mean a marred criminal record for life. A criminal record has repercussions on present and future employment prospects, freedom to travel, immigration status, and other fundamental liberties that we normally take for granted.

The consequences of a conviction may be quite unexpected, such as driver's license suspension. Convictions for drug offenses may result in difficulty obtaining financial aid for education, and other unfortunate situations.

If you have been charged with drug possession, sale, distribution, or trafficking of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, or any other illegal or illegally obtained drug, you need an effective and zealous defense attorney.

The first thing we examine in every drug arrest case is the nature of the search and seizure that led to the arrest. If you were arrested in the context of an unjustified traffic stop, all evidence pertinent to your drug arrest may be thrown out, and your case may be dismissed.

A skillful criminal defense attorney in Massachusetts has the ability to present a compelling illegal search and seizure defense through a motion to suppress evidence.
