Drug Possession Defense Attorney Mike Murray
Charges for drug possession, distribution or Trafficking in Massachusetts are a serious matter. A conviction on any drug charge can have incredibly far reaching affects including:
- Incarceration
- A lifetime criminal record having adverse affects on employment, military service, immigration, etc.
- Loss of your driver’s license and other fundamental rights that we normally take for granted
If you have been charged with drug possession, distribution, or trafficking you need to hire an experienced and effective defense attorney immediately.
With any drug offense, our office will immediately go to work to determine if the contraband seized from you was done so in compliance with the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures.
In every drug case the government must either have a warrant supported by probable cause in order to search and seize the alleged narcotics or if they have no warrant they must still have probable cause and what are referred to as exigent circumstances.
According to the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, under Article XIV of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights, and under Massachusetts General Laws c. 276 § 1, the government (the Police) including all of its agencies – federal, state and local – cannot search you, your home or your vehicle to seize drugs or any contraband unless they have a search warrant issued by a court magistrate based upon specific articulable facts contained in an affidavit which amounts to probable cause.
The Warrant Exception: If the police have no warrant the government must still show they had probable cause based upon specific articulable facts and what are referred to as exigent circumstances typically that a crime was being committed or about to be committed in their presence and often relating to an automobile or individuals in public on foot.
Where appropriate these important issues must be addressed in a motion to suppress filed by our office. If the evidence is suppressed, the government will have no evidence against you and would almost always be required to dismiss your case.

In addition to proving that the stop and search leading to your arrest was based upon probable cause (legal) the Prosecutors must also prove that the substance in your possession was in fact an illegal narcotic. The prosecutor must do this by having a formal narcotics test completed by the state police crime lab and presented to the court. Be sure that your constitutional rights are protected.
