Drug investigations can involve searches, traffic stops, confidential informants, surveillance, controlled purchases, and the seizure of physical evidence. The circumstances of the investigation and the methods used by law enforcement can play an important role in evaluating the allegations and determining what defenses may be available.

Defending Drug Crime Charges in Massachusetts

A drug crime investigation may raise important questions about the legality of a search, the basis for a traffic stop, the handling and testing of evidence, and whether law enforcement followed the required procedures.

Depending on the circumstances, a defense may involve examining:

  • Whether law enforcement had a lawful basis to stop, search, or detain an individual
  • Whether a search warrant was properly obtained and executed
  • Whether the evidence was properly collected, preserved, and tested
  • Whether the alleged substance was accurately identified
  • Whether the evidence supports the specific charge brought by the prosecution
  • Whether the investigation and arrest complied with applicable legal requirements

Every case is different. The evidence, applicable law, and circumstances of the investigation must be carefully evaluated.
