Massachusetts Drug Offenses Criminal Defense Lawyer
Massachusetts’ law prohibits an individual from knowingly or intentionally possessing any controlled substance without a valid prescription. If you have been charged with drug possession, to be found guilty the following must apply:
You must possess and be knowledgeable of the heroin.
Marijuana is now legal in this state if you are at least 21 years old. Although legal, you cannot use marijuana on federal lands, or in public. You may have up to 1oz on your person and up to 10oz in your home. Like alcohol, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle under the influence of marijuana. Note, you can still be criminally charged for possessing more than 1oz of marijuana on your person. Penalties can be up to one year of jail/prison and/or a fine of up to $1,000. Additionally, employers, landlords, cities, and towns may have their own policies concerning the use of recreational marijuana. Always verify there are no local rules, policies, or laws that address marijuana usage.
If you have a domestic relationship with someone and an assault occurs, you can be charged with domestic violence.
Heroin charges do not require possession. Just knowing heroin is present can lead to a criminal sentence of up to one year of incarceration and/or up to a $1000.00 fine. Actual possession of heroin (first offense) carries a criminal liability of up to two years in the house of corrections and up to a $2000.00 fine. If this is not your first heroin possession conviction, you face longer prison times or higher fines, or both.
Domestic violence defense in Everett, MA
An assault that is alleged to have occurred between persons who have a domestic relationship is considered domestic violence . Prosecutors often prosecute these cases, often despite the wishes of a complaining witness. From misdemeanor to felony charges, domestic violence convictions carry their own criminal penalties. A conviction can also affect your rights to own or possess a firearm, and if you are not a US citizen, your immigration status can be negatively affected as well. Our domestic violence attorneys can competently defend you against all assault and domestic violence allegations.
Armed Robbery Defense
Massachusetts General Law Part IV Title I Chapter 265 section 17, regarding armed robbery states; Whoever, being armed with a dangerous weapon, assaults another and robs, steals or takes from his person, money or other property which may be the subject of larceny shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for life or for any term of years. If during the robbery, the assailant dons a mask or anything that causes facial distortion, the penalty is more severe. Certain firearms used during a robbery can increase the criminal penalties for armed robbery convictions. Unarmed Robbery is governed by Chapter 265 section 19(b), and states; Whoever, not being armed with a dangerous weapon, by force and violence, or by assault and putting in fear, robs, steals, or takes from the person of another, or from his immediate control, money or other property which may be the subject of larceny, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for life or for any term of years. As an example, stealing a purse from a woman walking is less serious than robbing a convenience store while wearing a mask and threatening store employees with a rifle. Armed or unarmed robbery, both carry severe penalties.
