I am a proven criminal defense lawyer with more than 25 years of experience. I have defended hundreds of clients on drug charges in courts of Essex County, Massachusetts and surrounding jurisdictions. Contact me today for a initial consultation at my offices in Beverly, Salem or Lynn.
Challenging Your Drug Charges
I have handled every type of offense:
- Misdemeanor or felony possession of marijuana
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
- Possession of a controlled substance (cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, meth)
- Illegal possession of prescription painkillers (e.g., Vicodin, Oxycontin)
- Intent to distribute
- Sale of drugs in a school zone
Police often a cast a wide net, playing loose with Fourth Amendment rights against illegal search and seizure. I examine all the critical facts of your case: the amount, the conduct of undercover agents, use of informants, where you were arrested, and whose drugs they were.
I explore every possible defense and gauge the strength of the prosecution's case, looking for a basis to get charges dropped, evidence excluded, or to negotiate a plea to a lesser offense. I aim to help you avoid jail or prison at all costs, including diversion programs for first-time offenders with no convictions for violent crimes.
I understand that drug charges can lead to serious sentences. Contact me today to discuss your options, including the merits and risks of going to trial. I provide consultations, including evenings and Saturdays. I accept Visa and MasterCard.
