All drug trafficking charges in Massachussetts are extremely serious and carry severe penalties, including mandatory minimum prison terms. However, the length of the sentence imposed (given a conviction) depends in part on the amount and the type of drug involved. The most severe penalties apply to trafficking of “Class A” substances such as heroin; given a substantial amount of drugs, however, even marijuana trafficking carries a minimum prison term. Anyone charged with drug trafficking should hire an experienced Boston criminal defense attorney.

If you have been arrested and are facing charges of trafficking in narcotics, you need an experienced and knowledgeable Boston criminal defense lawyer on your side. At attorney who handles such cases on a regular basis would be prepared to investigate carefully the circumstances of your case, work hard to try to get the charges either dismissed or reduced, and, if necessary, fight the charges at trial.

Trafficking charges apply when a Massachussetts case involves distribution of a large quantity of narcotics. In such cases, an experienced criminal defense attorney will make every effort to have key evidence excluded—in other words keep the government from using the evidence in court. Through a variety of motions, the attorney would challenge the way in which the evidence was collected: the way in which the police conducted the search, the validity of the search warrant (if they police got a warrant), and other aspects of the investigation. You will need a lawyer who is meticulous, pays attention to every detail, and knows the law inside and out.
