If you have been charged with Possession with Intent, police, federal agents or other law enforcement personnel believe that you were in possession of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, crack or other controlled substance and you were going to sell or distribute the drugs. This is a felony crime and a conviction will often result in lengthy imprisonment and high fines.

Even if you had a small amount of marijuana in your possession for your own personal use, the presence of scales or plastic bags will point police to the higher charge of Possession with Intent.

Possession of Illegal Substances with Intent to Distribute and Distribution is a much more serious crime than possession for personal use. An aggressive Massachusetts Criminal Drug Defense Lawyer will fight to have charges reduced to a lesser charge. The difference in these two charges is enough to change your life.

For first offenders, it is particularly important to have the charges reduced or dropped entirely so that you do not have a criminal record for the rest of your life. For second and subsequent offenders, how your case is defended will make the difference between freedom and a long prison sentence.

Your attorney must get started quickly to investigate the arrest before memories fade, witnesses forget and evidence disappears. Was the search and seizure legal? Did the police have probable cause to do a search? Did they have a search warrant? All of these facts must be quickly investigated.
