Facing a drug charge can threaten your freedom, your future, and your reputation. Prosecutors treat drug offenses as serious crimes that demand punishment—not second chances. Whether the authorities have accused you of simple possession or large-scale trafficking, the consequences are devastating. At Erkan & Sullivan, P.C., our defense attorneys have over forty years of combined criminal law experience. We have built a reputation for being strategic, relentless, and honest. When your case outcome is at risk, a Lawrence drug lawyer will not back down.
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 94C covers a wide range of drug crimes, including possession, distribution, manufacturing, and trafficking. Penalties vary based on the type and amount of the controlled substance, as well as any prior convictions. Even a small amount of cocaine, heroin, or fentanyl can lead to mandatory minimum prison sentences. Convictions may also trigger driver’s license suspensions, probation, or permanent records of the charge that limit employment and housing opportunities.
Our Lawrence illegal substance defense attorneys understand how prosecutors build these cases—and how to dismantle them. We immediately examine the legality of the search and seizure. If police violated your Fourth Amendment rights by conducting an unlawful search, we move to suppress that evidence. We also challenge chain-of-custody documentation, laboratory testing methods, and unreliable witness testimony.
For non-citizens, drug convictions may carry immigration consequences, including deportation or visa revocation. Our attorneys carefully navigate these issues to protect your status and your future.
At Erkan & Sullivan, P.C., we know that each client’s situation is unique. We personally manage every case, and we will never pass your Lawrence drugs case to an assistant or junior attorney.
