Boston Drug Crime Defense Lawyer

Questions about Drug Charges

What are the most common drug charges handled by your firm?

At the Law Offices of Thomas A. Brant, we frequently handle cases involving drug cultivation, drug distribution, drug manufacturing, drug possession, drug trafficking, prescription fraud, and medical marijuana.  We handle drug charges stemming from many different types of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, methamphetamines, heroin, ecstasy, and prescription drugs.  No matter what your specific charges may be, we highly recommend you speak with a Boston drug crime defense lawyer to find out what can be done for your case.    

What is alternative sentencing?

Alternative sentencing programs are basically alternatives to going to jail for a crime.  Judges may use alternative sentencing programs to deliver an appropriate punishment to a drug offender so that they can be rehabilitated rather than just punished, reducing the likelihood that they will commit other drug crimes in the future.  Alternative sentences may include community service, work release, graffiti clean-up, drug rehabilitation programs, or electronic monitoring or house arrest.  You should speak with a Boston drug crime defense attorney to find out if you may be eligible for an alternative sentencing program.

There is so much evidence against me, should I even bother hiring a lawyer?

Even if you believe there to be too much evidence against you, you should still speak with an attorney before you give up hope. Drug crime defense lawyer Kenneth Muhammad may be able to find defenses to your crime, and sometimes the evidence collected against you may not be valid or has been illegally obtained. In these cases, your lawyer will fight to have the evidence thrown out, so it cannot be used to incriminate you.  There is always something to gain from hiring a lawyer, and even if charges cannot be avoided your attorney can help negotiate with prosecutors to get you a reduced sentence so the penalties will not be as harsh. 

I have been wrongly accused and am innocent. Why would I need an attorney?

We would all like to believe that truth and justice prevails, but as many individuals find out each year in Boston, this is not always the case.  Innocent people are wrongly convicted of drug crimes all the time, which is why it’s so important to protect yourself by hiring a lawyer to represent you and handle your case.
