State Drug Crimes

Boston-Area Criminal Defense Attorney Handling Drug Dealing and Narcotics Offenses

After a drug bust, the defense lawyer you choose could make a big difference in the outcome of your case. The State of Massachusetts has all the power and resources it needs to prosecute you. The attorney you hire needs to have the experience, knowledge, and skill to fight back.

For more than 20 years, I have been fighting for the rights and freedom of people charged with drug dealing, prescription drug fraud, narcotics trafficking, and other serious drug crimes in both state and federal courts. I have an impressive track record of success at getting evidence suppressed, getting cases dismissed, and winning not-guilty verdicts in criminal cases.

I am an experienced negotiator and an aggressive trial lawyer with extensive experience in both plea negotiations and jury trials. If you are facing drug charges, do not hesitate to contact me. I offer a free consultation.

Thorough, Aggressive Defense in Serious Drug Cases

After more than 20 years, I know how to build an effective defense in a drug case. I have handled cases involving all types of drugs, including large quantities of marijuana, crack, cocaine, Ecstasy and other “club drugs,” heroin, and meth, as well as prescription opiates and pain killers such as OxyContin, Percocet and Vicodin.

While I do handle the common charges of drug possession and possession with intent to distribute, I have the experience to defend people accused of major drug felonies, such as:

  • Drug dealing/drug distribution
  • Drug trafficking
  • Prescription drug fraud/dealing prescription drugs
  • Gang-related activity
  • Racketeering/RICO Act Violations
  • Conspiracy

Challenging the Evidence: Search and Seizure Issues

A drug case can be a bit like a game of chess. My job is to force the prosecutor to prove every element of its case against you. What that means in practice is that I challenge every piece of evidence collected against you. If the police violated your constitutional rights when collecting the evidence, I will fight to have it suppressed — which could mean a reduction or dismissal of your charges.

I have had cases dismissed for several clients based on illegal car searches and warrantless searches of their homes. I challenge warrants and traffic stops, investigate any jail house informants or cooperating witnesses, make sure no evidence was obtained through illegal wiretaps, and force the police and prosecutors to prove each and every allegation using only the evidence they collected properly.
