Drugs and Narcotics

Narcotics offenses can range in severity from relatively minor misdemeanor charges to the most severely punished felonies.  This is often based on the quantity and type of drug alleged and whether the possession occurred with the intent to distribute or sell.  A conviction for drug offenses can have serious ramifications affecting your job, your school, your family and your freedom.  Some drug offenses carry mandatory jail sentences and substantial fines.

Often, persons are charged with simple possession of narcotics and possession of drug paraphernalia.  In these matters, we have had great success avoiding convictions through various methods including deferred prosecutions or §90-96 Conditional Dismissals.

More serious narcotics offenses can carry severe punishment including, substantial jail sentences.  Our firm has the experience to afford you the best opportunity for a favorable outcome in these matters
