Springfield, Massachusetts Narcotics Defense Law Firm

Western Massachusetts drug crimes cover a broad range of offenses, from the less severe (like simple possession of a small amount of certain drugs), to the more serious (such as manufacturing and distributing drugs). 

Unfortunately, even those who are charged with simple drug possession often serve more time in prison than violent and dangerous criminals do.  A conviction for the possession, use, sale, manufacturing, or distribution of any illegal drug comes with the harsh penalty of prison time, probation, steep fines, drug counseling, and community service. 

How an Attorney Can Help

If you have been arrested on charges of possession, possession with the intent to distribute, drug trafficking, prescription fraud, or any other Massachusetts drug crime - whether it is a Class A Substance, Class B Substance, Class C Substance, or Class D Substance - if it's your first or second offense, you're facing stiff penalties.  To make matters even worse, if there is a school zone violation involved, there is a mandatory minimum of 2 years incarceration on a first offense.

Protecting Your Rights

Springfield Drug Cases almost always involve searches of cars, homes, and one's personal effects.  If police fail to execute a search warrant properly, search your car without probable cause, or fail to read you your rights after you've been placed in custody, the evidence they collect may be inadmissible in court.  Our attorneys promptly file Motions to Dismiss in any case where evidence has been improperly collected or our client's Constitutional rights have been violated.   If you have been charged with drug charges or narcotics charges in Springfield, Hampden County, or Hampshire County, you can depend on us to vigorously defend your rights and get your drug charges reduced or dismissed.  Contact us today or call (800) 461-6900 for a free case evaluation .

Well-Versed in Drug Cases

The Controlled Substances Act, also known as Chapter 94C, spells out crimes and punishments in Massachusetts drug cases.  Our thorough and contemporary knowledge of how drug cases are litigated, coupled with our aggressive attitude about defending our clients, makes us a top pick for clients.  Negotiating a plea bargain is not our first step.  When your rights and freedom are at stake, there is too much information to pour through to take a quick knee-jerk approach to your case. 

Severe Penalties
For Enhanced Drug Charges

You will especially want to hire a Massachusetts Narcotics Attorney if your case involves intending to sell drugs to a minor in or around a school zone.  Depending on the quantity and types of drugs found, you may have a better chance in court that you think, but will need the help of an experienced drug defense attorney.

Prescription Drug Fraud Penalties

The penalties for a prescription fraud conviction can vary depending on the nature of the crime. The courts are often more forgiving to individuals who are addicted to prescription drugs and have obtained them illegally for their own personal use only. On the other hand, a conviction for distribution, large-scale trafficking, or manufacturing of prescription drugs is likely to lead to serious consequences.

Beware of "The Cooperation Factor"
In Any Springfield Drug Investigation or Narcotics Investigation

One of the most important things that any person who has either been arrested for, or is under investigation for the sale, conspiracy to sell, or the trafficking of drugs needs to understand is that there is almost never any benefit in consenting to a search, agreeing to make a statement, or agreeing to cooperate unless you have already consulted with, and hired a Massachusetts Narcotics Defense Attorney. 

Many individuals believe that a police officer cannot lie to you.  They believe that if the police officer, investigator, or government agent says that he or she is going to help you, they are obligated to keep their word.  This is not true.  Law enforcement agents are allowed to bend the truth, play with their words and, in some cases, even lie.  When interrogating a defendant, they can make statements that are not true when speaking about the evidence they have.  In attempting to get information, they can make implied promises, and later claim that no express promise was made.
