Drug Offenses

Drug charges are among the most common and serious criminal offenses in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The attorneys at Altman & Altman, LLP have been handling such cases with diligence and success for more than 30 years. There are many avenues in which a drug case can be successfully defended, including, but not limited to: motions to dismiss, motions to suppress evidence, defense verdicts and favorable plea arrangements.

The attorneys at Altman & Altman, LLP have successfully handled all types of drug and drug-related cases. They have successfully handled cases in the Massachusetts District Courts, Massachusetts Superior Courts and the First Circuit Federal Court in Massachusetts. They have handled cases ranging from possession of class D or Marijuana to Trafficking, Distribution and School Zone cases in Cocaine, Ecstasy, Crack Cocaine, heroin and all other controlled substances, narcotics and drugs. We have also handled many cases involving driving offenses that involve illegal narcotics and paraphernalia.

Drug charges can carry very stiff sentences including mandatory jail sentences and loss of driving privileges. A criminal record concerning any drug crime can greatly affect a client for potentially the rest of his/her life. Having a drug offense on one’s record can greatly affect that person’s ability to obtain a job, get into school and/or obtain a scholarship. It can also affect one’s ability to enter into any branch of the armed services. Finally, a drug related offense on one’s record can affect that person’s ability to obtain citizenship in the United States and/or can result in deportation. It is imperative to retain an attorney at the earliest possible time in order to ensure that the attorney can explore all avenues available to you.
