Drug Possession Defense Lawyer in Boston

When a person is convicted of drug possession in Boston, he or she will be at risk of facing a difficult future.  Though drug possession in itself is the least serious of all drug offenses a person may be accused of committing, there are various situations that will result in the defendant facing felony charges.  Possession with the intent to sell and possession within a certain distance of a school may enhance the penalties that a defendant faces. 

Depending on the types of drug (including such illegal and controlled substances as marijuana, OxyContin and cocaine) and the amount, a defendant may face automatic felony charges for simple possession.  A person convicted of drug possession may face imprisonment in jail or prison, fines, mandatory rehabilitation and life with a criminal record. Do not leave your future to chance.  Contact a Boston drug possession defense lawyer at our law offices to see how we can protect your interests to the fullest extent.

Accused of the Possession of Illegal Drugs?

If you find yourself in a situation where you are under arrest for the suspected possession of illegal drugs, the most important thing you can do is to remain silent.  Do not resist arrest.  Do not say anything to the arresting officer.  No matter what you say, you will still be arrested.  Any statements you make or anything you say may be used against you at a later date.  If you attempt to resist, you may only find that you are facing resisting arrest charges on top of the drug possession offense you have already been accused of committing.
