Boston Drug Crime Defense Attorney

Understanding School Zone and Park Penalties

In the Boston area, if you have recently been charged with a drug crime, it is not unlikely that you have also been slapped with extra penalties for being in either a school zone or near a park.  To be charged with this trumped up crime, you must have been within 1000 feet of a school of any kind or within 100 feet of a public park or playground.  There is, however, hardly a place within Boston that is not within these zones and therefore slapping people with these extra penalties has become common practice.

Despite this, these penalties are nothing to be taken lightly as they increase the risk of you facing imprisonment or fines; in the wake of the accusation, you need to be confident that you are being represented by a lawyer that possesses both the resources and the desire to protect your rights.  You cannot afford to be lethargic or apathetic at a time such as this; you need to move fast and effectively.  By working with an experienced Boston drug crime lawyer, you can begin to build a defense from the ground up to fight for your future.
