Drug Crimes

Massachusetts Defense Lawyer/Drug Charges

Massachusetts drug crimes often carry substantial penalties and the consequences of having a drug conviction on your criminal record can last a lifetime. A 2009 report by the Massachusetts Bar Association found that nearly half of the Massachusetts’s prison population is behind bars for a drug-related offense.

Hiring a Massachusetts defense attorney experienced in handling drug charges is critical to protecting your legal rights, your reputation and your future. At the Law Offices of Michael DelSignore, we work with each client to fight for the best outcome possible in each and every case we take the responsibility of representing. Attorney DelSignore prides himself on remaining available to his clients and taking the time to develop a legal strategy capable of offering the best chance for success in your case.

District Attorneys often push lengthy sentences for drug violations and judges are often happy to comply. The state’s mandatory minimum sentences further compound the dangers of spending a significant length of time behind bars for many drug violations – the prison population has increased by almost 400 percent and the local jail populations have skyrocketed by more than 500 percent since the 1980s – more than 25,000 are in jail for drug crimes.

A Massachusetts criminal defense lawyer who handles drug cases needs to present an aggressive defense, which often includes challenging evidence and seeking a reduction or dismissal of the charges whenever possible. In some cases, treatment options or drug court may present a defendant the chance to avoid jail time or other serious consequences of a felony drug conviction. In other cases, thoroughly investigating a case and preparing for trial will offer the best chance for success.
