If you have been arrested on drug charges, you may be worrying about the potential consequences you face. The seriousness of drug crime penalties often depends on the quantity of drugs involved. Possession of a small amount of a controlled substance can often be resolved without a trial or a conviction. However, distribution of larger quantities can lead to an indictment for trafficking.
The best way to learn about the potential consequences in your unique situation is to talk with an experienced lawyer for defense of drug charges. Contact the Medford, Massachusetts, law office of William Barabino by calling 781-393-5900 to schedule a free and confidential consultation.
A conviction for sale of drugs can result in prison time with mandatory minimum sentences that allow the judge no discretion to impose a lighter sentence or probation. For this reason, getting charges dismissed can be critical to protecting your freedom.
