A drug crime lawyer helps you understand potential consequences
Massachusetts has decriminalized possession of less than one ounce of marijuana and has reduced the breadth driver’s license suspensions for drug offenses. The state has made it easier for individuals with drug records to have their records sealed or expunged. Still, a drug possession charge is not something to be taken lightly.
Though sentencing severity depends on the type and quantity of drug involved, mandatory minimum sentencing in Massachusetts means certain punishment is issued even if a judge deems that punishment too severe for your case. Whatever your circumstances, contacting a recognized drug crime lawyer early is the right place to start.
