Challenging Witnesses and Calling Evidence into Question

We are aware that drug trafficking arrests in the Essex County, MA, area and Southern New Hampshire only scratch the surface of how much dealing occurs here. We also know that police and federal officers' tactics in enforcing drug laws are often questionable and sometimes outright illegal.

Many drug trafficking cases turn one way or the other based on whether the arrest was legal and evidence is admissible. We know how to investigate a drug case and battle on your behalf by:

• Aggressively examining whether there was an illegal search of your home, car or person, and insisting on your constitutional rights
• Filing motions to suppress evidence that is critical to the prosecution's case against you
• Calling the sufficiency of evidence into question by bringing forth other key facts of the case

Especially when the stakes are high, as they always are with drug trafficking and many other drug crimes, we believe the most important quality in a lawyer is excellent judgment. We have that, and we collaborate and share experiences to make it work for you.

Sometimes you have little to lose by fighting for dismissal or acquittal; in other cases, negotiation for reduced consequences is the right path. For a consultation focused on your case and creating the best plan for success, call or send us e-mail now.
